Don't know about other cars, but I doubt it. Try a local independent rad shop for a recore (if it's just the core) - thuis will be cheaper than a new rad and just as good if they're a pukka outfit. I paid about £90 for a recore a couple of years ago.

Get it re-cored. Cheaper than a 2nd hand one which may be as bad as your current one.

A specialist company will disassemble your radiator and rebuild with new fins, the central/core bit of the rad, using the top, bottom and sides of the existing one. Once built they pressure test and repair any faults. A nice coat of black paint and you are back on the road again.

Your local motor factor will probably be an agent for this.
