Hi and welcome.

You could try Ebay sellers, but you do not know what you are buying. Suggest you remove the heater matrix and have it recored, look in Yellow Pages for radiator repairers or similar. Also check pipe work amd joins for leaks.

matrix

I had the same thing on my 93 TDL.
Daihatsu dealer in Ipswich (I think) quoted me 400 quid! So I bought 2 from German ebay, took them to the local rad specialist & he cobbled something together for me from the pieces. A new "nest", as they call it here & the framework & piping from the ebay puchases..... still cost 200 euros but it's considerably less than was quoted in UK.
Best of luck

Take it to a radiator 'specialist' and they will recore it for about
