Re: radiator how much
Welcome woza! 
Expect to pay around £100, I bought mine from Eurocarparts, seems fine and it's been in for 2 years
Be prepared to replace the bottom rad hose as well, the conrad fitting (push-fit to rad) will most likely be corroded to hell. Can be bodged with another connector & some splicing but a new hose is about £60 from memory.

My V6's is just a couple of hoses shoved over the ends with jubilee clips holding 'em in place. Took me minutes to get the old hoses off (due to a crud infestation) and seconds to get them back on again.
Getting the radiator out is also a piece of cake... just two clips at the top then pull it out of the engine bay
