After changing my Leaking coolant pipes I found out that the radiator is bangheadleaking as well- funnily not from the mini plastic expansion tanks but from the mesh...
Should I try to find an original one or should I go for a replacement alloy one (ie tvrcarparts) or should I try to have it recored??? I am trying to fix this coolant problem for good and I am grateful for any advice,,,

Bite the bullet and buy an Ali one, I did the same about four months ago and didn't look back. I don't think you can get a re-core ona plastic sided one.

Try Automedon I think they are using uprated rads specially manufactured.

Have a word with the people at Radtec. I have one in mine and have been very happy with it - but make sure it is supported well when fitted.

Got same problem with leaking rad on my T350 and just having one of the ali ones fitted to replace. Not cheap but I figured nothing is on these eh so just get it done and don't look back :-)
