after checking all of my cooling system today flushing it out and refilling with new antifreeze, water etc i noticed a lot of hole were in it an it looked as though they were patched with BODY FILLER?!? so i desperatly need a new one, i saw one on ebay and the person selling it said it possibly from an 3500 SD1, if so would an SD1 rad fit a 3500 P6 he said the dimensions are, 28.5" wide, 18.25" high and 1.5" thick heres a link to the auction:

Pretty sure it wouldn't fit Martin, the mountings are all different for a start. And it looks like that one is from a manual car, so will have no oil cooler connections.

You could probably get yours repaired by a local rad specialist.
Someone like Serck Marston/Intertruck or an independant in Yellow pages.
I've just had the SD1's re-cored locally for under £100.
 
I agree, it won't fit, having your own repaired is the way to go. It has been said on here before that they can be uprated at the same time. Personally I'd have it uprated and have the transmission cooler taken out and fit a seperate one, thus avoiding any chance of contamination of the gearbox with coolant. And there is a Kenlowe transmission cooler on e-bay at the moment item no. 300027265031
