Broken Radiator

Hi, After a new years party somehow my radiators become broken - who and when is being investigated but no one knows lol. The core is fine but the core support has the locator bracket broken which has also made a hole through the core support. Can this be fixed? ie can we get a new side core support or do we have to buy a whole new one?

If we need a new one does anyone know what this radiator is(Its upside down but is the £68 one off MNR site)


Whilst it was dropped the fan was attached. Can we check this is ok by connecting the terminals straight to a 12v car battery or do we need to fuse it?

Cheeers
Adam

Cheers Stuart and Meany as the VW302 corresponds to the 302 on the link and is the exact same size plus its only £38.48 which is qutie a bit less than the £68 MNR price
