GSF (German Swedish French) are good for pattern parts. Salvage yard if you're not getting a new one?

Salvo are probably your best bet - Forum discount applies (I think it is 10% off)

Manual or auto mate......

sorry should've put that, its an auto.

apparently they have an oil cooler built into the rad for the slush box.
someone's coming to have a look at it monday to see if it's re-conditionable.
thanks for the suggestions though guys, that aaron radiators are cheap!!! well compared to local motor factors.

bit of an update, rang aaron radiators today to confirm it was right one for my car. couldn't really get anywhere with them, they said it's because it's a 1999 model it makes it awkward, they were showing a 40mm one, whereas mines a 34mm. ended up getting one from local motor factors in end, £167! ahwell at least it'll definately be the right one.

ouch - Didn't you ring Rufe - last year genuine rads were about 110 quid inc Vat and delivery

YEP Genuine VOLVO rads are cheaper than youve paid for a non genuine one.
