Hi, i was just wondering if anyone knows where i can get a barnd new radiator, or more importantly oil cooler, as they are useable but looking their age, and id rather put new than second hand.

Thanx

oil cooler is beneath the radiator...looks like a minature radiator,cools oil rather than coolant. the 'bottle' you are on about is the 'expansion bottle' for the coolant.
and yes you should use coolant/antifreeze mixture with the water.
