DIY: Radiator replacement in v6 Bora

[Wighty654]

Hi,
I have a crack in my radiator passenger side. One of the mounts has cracked where it joins the radiator body. The crack is about 25mm long and about 2-3mm wide.
a) Any permanent fixes?
b) Does anyone have a good idea for a temporary fix because I am currently in Tas and supposed to be going back to the mainland mid next week. I only need to limp about 50 minutes to Devonport and then about the same again in Vic
c) Any tips on replacing a radiator, eg stuff to do/not do ?
d) Does anyone happen to have a second hand radiator for a 2001 v6 bora lying around they would be willing to sell to me? Ill post in the buying section as well but figured i may as well ask here to.
Thanks in advance, Josh.

I'd go to a local radiator guy and see if it is able to be economically repaired

Loctite makes 2pack stick that you kneed and apply to the crack or hole in the radiator. It works very well as a temporary fix.
