An awful lot of people bought the carparts4less bargain ones a few years back, and most of them are probably still stashed away in garages for a rainy day. I'm sure you'll find a bargain

I used to do some driving for a company many years ago, collecting old radiators from customers, mainly those with classic cars, they would be taken to a facility that recored/repaired them. Not sure if this is still done but in the absence of a replacement new one maybe worth a bit of research in your area.

Re-coring of old radiators is likely still done though last time I had it done was around 5 years ago. Must be someone in the Soton/Pompi area who still does it. Probably significantly cheaper than a replacement too.
