Yep it is.

My dad is a qualified and I'm glad I have him because I don't have a clue and wasn't looking forward to paying extra for someone to fit a new one in.

Is $255 too high ya reckon? Just for the new radiator itself.

Yeah,I can get a price for you tomorrow (Tuesday) if you like on a genuine one.I'm a Holden Technician with over 16 years experience on Holdens alone,so i've seen a few of these let go.Some with as little as 5,000kms on them.Is it for an auto or a manual?

Edit:Yeow!! $467 for genuine.I'd get one from Ebay if I were you.They go for around $180 PP.

Woah $467!!!

Well, I ended up getting one from the radiator place up the road from me. I rang a few places and some went as high as $380 for just the radiator so $250 was the cheapest I found. I brought the radiator, tubes, coolant, thermstout (sp?) - I pulled that out to keep the car running while the radiator was cracked, I had to get to tafe somehow and some other things, all for $350.
