Have you tryed getting your one re-cored by a rad specialist ? might be cheaper than a new one !!!

yeah I got one from paddocks. it is a britpart unit and comes complete with new mounting rubbers. it has an inbuilt oil cooler.
only thing i had to do was remove the oilcooler bushes and apply ptfe tape to the threads or they seep oil.

have had no trouble with cooling but it is a little cold out so its not really been tested that much

ah right , you could pick one up from a scrappy theres one in glos that gets 200 discos in quite regular , but its a case of remove it yourself tho ( not many places left like that due the crappy H&S bull**** ) .

dont like buying secondhand rads as the cores are often rotten/ unknown condition, think im going to go with paddocks one,
