If not you can try a 2.0 2.3 or a 12v one.
I'm slowly convincing people thats the way to go 
Straight swap and change the coolant reservoir for a 2.0 2.3 or 12v one, they only have the two pipes instead of the 24v's three.
You'll get a brand new one of these for about £50 compared to FMD's £300 plus for a 24v one

I swapped mine for a 12v on bank holiday.
No problems so far but only 200 miles or so done as i do mainly short journeys.
But i do like to floor it, when the engine is warm.
No leaks, over heating or anything and only cost £45 (used) and took an hour or so to fit, by my brothers.
Lost a bit of oil from the oil pipes, but not sure if this is gearbox,engine, or power steering fluid, but all levels are ok. Probably only a mouthful anyway.
Recommended, thanks Highlander

Hey CJ, you don't want to be drinking that stuff, it's transmission fluid..... 
Well done on the rad

From transmission section of manual...
Corrosion in Autobox Cooler Pipes
Although it is not obvious because of the under engine cover, gearbox fluid from the A4LDE auto is pumped through pipes to a smaller radiator installed in front of the air con condensing radiator and also through a small section of the engine coolant radiator on the nearside
