    why they use plastic radiator end tanks on a 200k car is beyond me. if it's leaking where it's bonded between the plastic & aluminum, it's a new radiator time. If the crack is isolated to the plastic, you can plastic-weld it.

    I bought it from Scuderia Car Parts USA. $1200 shipped from UK. Sparkplugs were $40 each.

    I’ve looked on parts suppliers very recently, and it’s now stating that this part has been superseded.

    Cannot repair those. When they rust at the tabs and leak they need to be tossed. Radiator replacement is a lot harder than it looks. Lots of crap to remove and then you need to do the hoses and clamps and a host of other incidentals you didn't count on. Lots of other stuff to remove to get to it. I hate doing radiators.
