My retained nut came out of the rad a couple of months ago and I took it along to a local radiator repair place and they re-fitted it for 5 quid . . . Try your local guys I am sure they'll be able to sort it out . . .

Sounds like they didn't do a very good job on the recore, take it back & see what they say..

If I understand correctly, the radiator is a modified Range Rover one.
Is the screw the OP is after a Rover part and therefore available from a LR dealer?
