UK Car Repair: radiator alternative, radiator leaks, vauxhall astra

Question
hi, do you know if theres an alternative radiator that would fit a vauxhall mk 2 combo lgv 52 plate 1700 diesel wo/ac as i am struggling to find an original thanks

Answer
MK5 vauxhall astra uses the same engine, the radiator could be suitable.

What's wrong with the old radiator?, leaks can be soldered shut a lot of the time.

A scurry round the scrap yard looking for astra/corsa radiators with the right pipes+fittings (use your old ones or the ones from the breaker car as needed) could be your best bet, Just so long as the radiator is aprrox the same size and has the same number of cores (sets of cooling fins+assoc. pipes running through it)
