just phoned vauxhall for a price for a radiator on a 1999 crewcab brava, quoted £950 plus vat if its non air fed whatever that means its £580 = vat anybody got any ideas

I hope that price includes fitting, full valet, and a night with the service manager’s daughter
Go to a scrap yard, real or online.

I used to work for the car handling company where these vehicles were imported into The UK at Royal Portbury Dock, nr. Bristol.

Although badged as a Vauxhall, they are actually Isuzu vehicles, made in Japan.

Try Isuzu dealers to see if parts are cheaper, as all parts are common with both brands.

Don't forget also, when you want used parts to try Isuzu vehicle breakers.
