Replacing Alternator on my V50, critique my plan! - Page 2

Think you should be fine, but if you have heated seats it should be 150A anyway.

Just working on it now. I have the 150A which is a bonus!

Struggling to release the tension on the belt, 17mm spanner trying to turn it anticlockwise but it's not budging

Aborted! I just couldn't shift the tensioner at all so I've done a bit more calling around and found a garage that will fit the parts I have for £54 inc vat. So in total that'll be a new alternator for just under £200 fitted.... Bit more than I'd like to have paid but at least it'll be back on the road!
