Default Alloy Radiators
Can they be repaired reasonably cheaply ( bearing in mind it was £300 new ) if they have damage to a couple of rows?

Or is it not worth it and better to buy a new one?

Depends on where it is damaged, but when Wayne was working at Pace, he had to repair several of their radiators for me, as they were shit and all leaked in the same place .
