maybe i could get a new one for a manual and fix 2 outlets to it for the auto box cooler ( well i think thats what the extra outlets are for ) ?

Let's just go back to the first post.

the rad was hot at the bottom but cool at the top and it took ages to get hot water from the bleed nipple

If the rad's hot at the bottom and cold at the top, then the rad's gotta be blocked. That's why turning on the heater's helping - because you're adding in a second radiator, effectively. The 'stat must be opening, else the bottom wouldn't be getting hot.

Flushing & reverse-flushing might help, but it's probably time to replace it.

this is getting expensive , new rad , heater matrix and a bleed valve that no one makes lol got no chance of getting to newquay in a few weeks
