Sorry to here of your rad problems.
Mate, please don't be tempted on a quick cheap fix on this one by applying a can of Rad Weld or the like. The water gallerys in the rad and heater matrix are on the small size and are prone to clogging up. Also the pipe work around the header tank is on the small side, again could clog.
As has been said best source a replacement rad.
