Alternator
Relatively easy to change : you'll probably get charged a couple of hours.
Steve at advanced factors can supply your parts (delivered) and I'd recommend DIY fitment to save the hassle of getting to and from repair centres. pm to boringoldgit and if you need any advice feel free to pm me to talk you through it.

Hi guys cheers for the replies but it turns out it wasnt the alternator as the AA man diagnosed it as but the air conditioning pump and to make it even more a laugh our indy garage took my word for it that it was the alternator an just ordered it without checking they only realised when they went to fit it G4 D3 4.4 V8, "tigger" all year round toy
