Having recently noticed an ominous leak of greenish fluid from the front driver's side, I took the car into my local indy for assessment - it seems that I have got a stone lodged in one of the radiators and it has sprung a leak. Needs replacement.The good ? news is that it is not a deterioration thing and therefore doesnt need both rads replacing. What sort of cost should I be looking at ? - do I have to remortgage the house ?!
Car is Nov 03 (04 model) but has done only 20000 miles.

And about 2-3 hours labour. My standard Carrera radiator cost £110 +vat and I replaced it myself in 3 and a half hours so no rocket science involved.
 
Hi ihad 1 replaced last year at jct 600 porsche last year
radiator £316.80
antifreeze 3ltr £22.38
o-rings £4.42
labour £192.00
total £535.60 + VAT It would have been cheaper to go to indipendent porsche specialist !!
 
You can usually find these on Ebay at a fraction of the full price. Try Douglas Valley Breakers; I've had some decent parts from them at axcellent prices.
