depending on skills you should be able to replace on a drive in 25 mins, very few tools required, but a little patients when refilling the cooling system.

Ask around locally for a rad supplier, then DIY the job. Plenty of guides on here and the rads sold locally are the same as the ones at the dealers, trust me.

BUT do a search on refilling, or you'll airlock it with possible dire consequences...and so will some garages
