Take it to any rad specialist , they will know what it is and sort it for you , cost in the region of £120. Rad fairly easy to remove , just run the front wheels onto a plank so that the bonnet can swing right over giving you easy access to the fixing points , can be a bit of a bstd to re fill with coolant because of air locks , make sure you have the heater on when running the engine and keep topping up !

With this in mind, remember there is also a bleed screw on the nearside top of the rad to aid bleeding !
