Cheap is good. Look on Ebay for a replacement for $49 or less and free shipping.

Except for the contortions of being on the driver's side floor, not a difficult job. Lower the antifreeze level by about a quart or two, drain from the radiator into a clean container. After removing the kick panels in the car, place a leak proof bag under the heater core to catch a small amount of antifreeze that will come out when it is unplugged. Do not reuse the O rings from the original, use new ones.

Time for the job: 1-2 hours. There are a couple of Youtube tutorials for the 850, which is pretty close to your car.

Keeping it running is better than buying new
