    Default Alternator

    Morning & Merry Christmas peeps!

    Coming home last night had the battery/alternator light come on. Wasn't sure what it was at the time (apart from not being good!) so turned everything off that wasn't needed and made my way home fine (about 10 miles).
    Looking through threads it seems like the alternator has gone which is a big fat pain in the a?? at this time of year.

    Local dealer will do it for £399 but will only tell me its the 100amp alternator, not give give me the part number so i can't check with part suppliers as they all want a part number. Could any kind soul tell me the part number? I can provide reg if needed.

    Or just bite the bullet, wait till january , and get one off fleabay;

    Cheers

    no breakers near you ??, i had one from a 07 rg low mileage, £100, the 120/150 cdti alternators are the same also. keep an eye on it mine used to get burning hot even when the engine was not started, drained the batt big style. you could hardly touch the pulley it was so hot.

    there's a breaker's near me in London called Brantwood's (www.brantwood.co.uk) and they told me they have Vectra alternators for just £80 I'm sure they can ship it... If not, it's a good run for the car, should charge the battery
