rip it out and get it fixed. Or fit a used one that will probably leak

Take the one from your track car to a radiator joint and they can flush and pressure test it. If it does leak it might only need to be braised.

I had one done once. Cost about $45.00 to get the rusted inlet and outlet pipes replaced.
They are a pain in the arse to remove though!!

I had mine replaced back in March at Motor Radiators on Halifax street. 8231 6256.
Cost was $270.
They took appart my heater box and replaced with a new heater core as the old one was badly leaking. They did a great job.
Cheers

A bit of a long shot for you.
On UK ebay they are selling new mk2 heater matrix for 50 pounds.
If you asked them I am sure they would post to here.
I am guessing it would be a further 50 pounds.
100 pounds currently converts to a few dollars more than 150 Australian.
Cheers Steve.

Talk to your local auto electrician, cant think of the companies name at the moment, who supply heater cores and there catalogue has dimensions and out let positions.
I got a copy of one a while ago when looking for a core with outlet's on the opposite side to normal when fitting the zetec in the MK2, but I cant find it.
Shannon may remember the company.

Hi Daz, The heater is a unit for a caravan with a ceramic element and fuse, 12v, i think with some minor mods it can go in easy enough..i'll be pulling it apart to fit .well thats my plan for the Anglia. Bought new off fleagay for $70 !!
