Sorry, don't know anyone your side of London.

I don't rate AMD, have had bad experiences.

Have a read up on the forum about aux radiators - they're a common failure point. However, they're not really needed in this country either. If it is an aux radiator that's gone, could be a good excuse to do the cold air feed mod (which involves removing the driver side aux rad and routing a cold air feed through that area instead). More info on that in the FAQs. If it's the passenger side that's failed, you could swap the driver side to passenger side and still do the feed.

Something to think about anyway.

They do all sort of Audi\VW cars. They can sort your RS with ease - they know they way around those ;) - they've done LOADS of them.
