I know its not much use to you now but I used Breakeryard.com to source bits which worked well. Ended up buying from Gwent 4X4 breakers and got delivery next day.

I had problems with my alternator last year after oil leaked over it. I got one from a breakers for less the £50 and fitted it myself. On a scale of 1 to 10 I would rate myself a low 2 as a mechanic so it can't be that hard to do. You need a closed end nr 24 spanner to get the belt off and...

Its niceto have the diagnosis confirmed and that getting an expert to do the job is sensible. Although when my local mechanic said he wouldn't try it either that was a pretty good hint thats its not that easy.
