Also, you can find cheap old oem rads on ebay with potentially low miles if you're feeling cheap
Thanks. Do you know if there'd be any problems with only replacing the coolant that escaped during the radiator replacement? I understand this procedure would release a lot of coolant but would rather avoid a full coolant flush. I saw a video on YT by 'Heidi and Franny Sailing' who changed the rad without a full flush and simply put back in what had come out.

And yes, very much open to using a cheaper used rad from Ebay - thanks.
