You will need to remove the engine cover, the plastic air intake to ECU housing, the auxiliary belt and its idler pulley (which I think hinders access to one of the alternator bolts), the power steering pump and it's bracket assembly. You can leave the pump to one side, wrap a cloth around it to catch any fluid, and I think that should give you enough clearance to manoeuvre the alternator out.
Thank you very much for that Liam.. got it!

The brand new alternator arrived at my house here in France from Germany at dinner time today 5/03/19. I only ordered it yesterday morning. It was only about £20 dearer than used alternator's people were trying to flog in the UK. I'm really pleased..

I'll post when the jobs done. I'm up to my eyes and armpits in building a bathroom at the moment..

Dave..
