Can any member from this way recommend a decent garage?
I need a new radiator fitted to the coupe! Big sigh.
Any recommendations would be fab!

Can I recommend that you attempt to do this yourself?
It really is one of the easier jobs to do, a couple of basic tools and an hour of your time.

Serious?
It took me 2 hours to open the bonnet after the cable snapped! Lol...
One garage quoted me 4 hours labour - £200
is it really that simple?

In that case don't use that garage!!!! 4 hours is robbery.
On a scale of 1 to 10 of difficulty, this would be a 2.
See the guide here >>
Clicky
Don't be put off, it sounds far more difficult that it actually is.
IIRC - I didn't need to remove the undertray to change mine either.
