How much would it cost to repair a cracked radiator on an R reg Ford ka?
Don’t bother if the thing is made of aluminium alloy:get a working reclaimed one from a motor breaker. An unreliable radiator ,especially in the winter is about as bad a pain as anyone wants.If you are in UK yellow pages will do the trick.
More than the car is worth, go to a scrap yard and get another one.

Buy a new one, don’t fix the broken one. Kas aren’t sold in the states so I’m not exactly sure what you have, most radiators over the counter for domestic cars range in price from $150-350+ US depening on make/model. It’s pretty easy to do yourself if you’re handy and have a decent tool set.

You’ll find it hard to get a repair done on it
You can get a rebuilt radiator which is normally about the same price as a new radiator
Depending where you go for one, motor factors usually stock them or can get them same day. you will be looking at £50 upwards and roughly an hour for a garage to fit it
