ok, wifey had the car today and told me she noticed something hanging down underneath the car

when we got home, ive checked it out and its a greeny plug, that attaches to something near the radiator

the car is driving fine, but im thinking this should be plugged in to something

You will find various random unplugged terminal throughout the engine bay. It's highly unlikely that it should be plugged into something, and if it is it would be in the same area as the male terminal which plugs into it so would be easy to find.

They are mostly there to accomedate for after factory genuine accessories to be installed without needing the harness to be split

Its the plug for the thermo fan temperature switch. The switch screws into the bottom of the radiator as shown in one of your photos. It will activate the thermo fan to assist the engine fan when the temperature reaches a preset value (about 87 degrees from memory).

The male connector can be located near the top left hand side of the radiator(when looking at the engine). The plug can then be clipped into the radiator shroud.

Cheers
