There's some new old stock around at the moment. But it's limited. May as well get a recore?

Lots of proper radiator shops will build their own radiators. If you take them an old one they'll take out the knackered bits and replace with shiny. Normally better quality than a dubious cheap one.

Is there not just like a rad from a different model of car that will fit relatively well ?

Not that I know of, but have seen new 1.7 rads on ebay. You need to check the part carefully though as they get mixed up with other models. Not sure what Volvo models share rads.

Recore is the best cheapest way, will be like new.
