Battle of the bulge ( Radiator )

Been so busy over the last few months I have hardly had time to get on here... And the scorpio has been going ok generaly...
But walking out the house today I spotted a damp patch under the passenger front.
A bit of inspection shows traces of liquid half way down the front passenger side seam of the rad tank...
So it looks like another failig 24V rad...
Now I have a Granada 24V rad currently in place on my 24V sierra project. I recon it should fit. Has anyone tried. I can swap the sierra over to a 2.9 12V rad ...
I only realy need it to last a couple of monts till the MOT is out and I have to decide what course of further action to take..

Is it a Scorpio 12v rad you have? that will fit.
I have a 2.3 rad in mine, changed the coolant tank to the 2.3 one as it doesnt have the pipe to the top of the rad like the 24v one.

Got a 12V sierra one somwhere... I could just put that in the sierra and put the Granny 24V in the scorpio if I can't source a cheep Scor 24v one..

I changed my 24v rad about 6 weeks ago for a 24v rad off a scrapper. This one has sprung a leak now.!!!!
I still have the 2.3 rad from the car a scrapped, but i dont have the expansion bottle anymore.
Looks like i had better find one quick.
