Yes to part, no to supplier.
I can get you the parts at trade price/staff rates at Inchcape Vauxhall.

Plugs are £1.88 each on trade club, even less at cost price. I get my bits at cost, but wouldn't supply them without making a bit of profit lol

Rad seems dear as mine cost just a shade under £50 from a local motor factor (genuine Valeo and even stamped GM!)
