Aye a new one of them is 75 quid. But I rang yet anuffer auto electricians who wunt sell me one, but reckoned he could fix me up with a recon one fer 35 quid.
 
This happened to me, the diode pack or regulator on the rear of the alternator is starting to fail. New (reconditioned) alternator from Auto stores in Malvern was £64 on an exchange basis. But you can replace just the regulator if the rest of the alternator is worth keeping.
 
i picked up a used replacement off ebay for £20. i also got a 100amp unit off ebay for £30 a while back :)

What you gotta do is tell him tesco's is doin it half price today only. When old greedy guts goes down to make his stock even bigger you can nip into his shed and nick his stash.:D

I ant looked but would be suprised if either of these were the diode pack (look further back on this fred fer Floppys link to a supplier), one of them could be the brush gubbins.
