Car died on way home .....

GSF you're looking at about £90, but then it will probably only last 1-2 years

both cheaper than a new alternator!!

Definately examine the volt reg etc first Mark.

My altenator bearing is making an awful noise so I asked my mate's garage to price up an exchange unit.....£250 and that's cost to them Let me know if you find anywhere cheaper.

D'oh! yer thats the alternator.
i had this happen recently, luckily my drive home is only 6 miles so i made it home with just sidelights on and no fan / stereo etc.
check the belt is tensioned first, then maybe try replacing the voltage regulator.

Think the alternator has died , driving home got the battery symbol on the autocheck, faint glow from battery light on the dash volt meter reading 10V, then every gets fainter, windscreen wipers get slower, ABS light comes on, manage to pull into a lay-by on the dual carriage way .... 3.5 hours later get home seems everybody was breaking down
