Default Radiator - GC - Crossflow

As title says,

Want a new one, if you've got one.
Or best place to get em.
Or best place to get em re-tanked.

Thanks.

EDIT:
Will also take a secondhand one to see if its the motor pressurising the cooling system.

proberly better off going genuine. i have never seen a after market radiator last more than about 2-3 years. even natrad ones.
genuine is about 600 though.

Go all alloy, 40mm fits nice and will add an extra couple of litres to the system.

Leaky china spec ones can be tig'd to fix pinholes for about $80.

Use GOOD coolant and they'll last indefinately.

I only use subaru coolant and my all alloy lasted 2 years. Is there a better coolant you would recommend?

Coolant should only last 100,000km... Inhibator is twice as better then glychol
