Pity you don't live here Dan. One of our local shops has AU Radiators on special for $165.

Let me guess, radiator cracked, leaking water into built in auto trans cooler, and stuffed the auto trans, in addition to the radiator?

Lesson here is always fit the biggest auto trans cooler you can (280 x 255 is heaps big enough), and always bypass the radiator!
