The alternator was just under £200 inc VAT and comes with a two year warranty. Looking back I think there was a small clue something was amiss, maybe three or four weeks back. I started the car one morning and there was a brief but loud shrieking sound. I idly thought it was moisture on a belt somewhere, but now think it was the bearing on the alternator failing. Left to develop it could've been catastrophic. Caught early I guess it saved a lot of grief. The garage was great, diagnosed last Friday and fitted yesterday, despite them being very busy leading up to Easter.
