Sheldrake and Wells in Ipswich always sort my work vans and any other rad issues out for me. They are just off Foxhall Road.

It may be a bit far for you but Matt at Sebring (TVR service centre) got my rad rebuilt for my Chim and did a great job, price was reasonable too. you can see Sebring at http://www.sebringinternational.co.uk/index.html

Matt at Sebring uses this bloke:

Fenland Radiator Services
New Bridge La
Wisbech
PE14 0SE

Telephone: 01945 587090

He took about four days and charged me £95 IIRC. (I removed and fitted it myself)

Just sorted the bleed nut on my Griffith's rad after the captive nut came away.

Cost - £5 to clean it all up and re solder. Must have taken a half hour to do.

i can recomend these chaps as well, they recored my mini Jem rad, and then when a pigeon and a rabbit went through it(don't ask!) they built me a larger cored version of the rad in good time, and for a reasonable ammount. they also overhauled my swirl pot (ooer mrs!), both of which were performing well quite a few years later when i sold the car.
