angelo77 Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 You can buy a new or reconditioned alternator for £60.00, takes about 30 to 40 min to swap over. proabably the quickest way to resolve your problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlockHead Posted May 28, 2012 Report Share Posted May 28, 2012 Seem to be having alternator problems myself, are they model specific? For example, I drive a Sport, would I need to get one specifically for a Sport or are they just specific to the range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
