300 TDI radiator - time to change?

I took my bumper off the other day and I ended up taking the grill off to do it. I ended up touching the radiator an the fins turned to dust.

Having cooked a V8 before that turned out to be due to a radiator in a similar state, I wondered if it was time to change this one? It doesn't seem to have overheating issues at the moment, but then I don't use it a lot.

So, do you guys think I should change it or get it re-cored etc.

If yes, what make would you recommend or where would you suggest to go to get it re-cored?

Thanks in advance for your help.
