Try a search for 'advanced radiators' they are quite cheap and deliver next day normally

quick fix?

bolt threw underside off rubber mount into the radiator after removing the old plastic pin from the mount,
slightly lift the rad to allow a gap between rad+mount dry out the gap and line up bolt into hole fill gap with silicon then drop rad back down
final few blobs here and there smooth over an make sure tight seal around mount+rad

a few hours to dry and test?

aye no maybe so?

yeah cheers will get on the new rad hunt from adrad

where a coolant hose goes into the engine block under the air box its a 3 bolt fixing,the join between the pipes plastic fixing collar and wherever the pipe goes into the seal there is seeping quite a bit when i squeeze the pipe,im not squeezing hard to try and make a leak im just squeezing to listen for leaks and i found one
