Hi, t bird radiator leaking,first spotted after arriving in Ireland but seemed to settle down, now wet underneath again but hoses all tight.
Rad-weld is probably not an option,and new ones are too expensive! any one know of good second hand one or alternative?
Any help would be grateful

Any decent radiator repair shop should be able to repair it at a much lower cost than a new or used one.

Check around locally and see if one of the garages knows someone in the business.

There was someone selling a 95 engine & other parts in the classifieds forum on this site. Check out that section and send a PM.
Someone else is parting out one on ebay, but asking a fortune for everything.

Try "Bars Leaks", it is used in the original fill in some motors so it is pretty good stuff. It will fix most minor leaks

I second the notion of bringing it to the repair shop. It'll be a lot cheaper compared to a brand new one.
