Ok,
    So my radiator is looking very sus.
After having a bit of a search I've found out that you can get a new radiator for £38.00 or £260.00 does anybody have a link to a decent radiator that I can buy ? something of quality that i can replace and forget about   ;D

The cheap ones last long enough for the price.
If you've still got the car in 5 years buy a new one and flush the coolant.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

I bought and fitted a CoolpartsUK radiator (ebay brand name for Advanced Radiators) when I first got the car in 2014. It's still there. Still not leaking. So for 35 quid I reckon I've got my moneys worth :)

Is it the old drain plug that people recommend you swop over to the new radiator when you change them?

Yup. And put a new thicker o-ring in

Yes, and check the o-rings, as unless they've updated them, they're the wrong size and already deformed.

So as a matter of interest where are all these O rings, I can think of bleed screws/drain plugs, where else are they?

That's where they are.  Bleed screw and drain plug (identical).
