Yeah see they were good. Halfords want £99 for the silver 5 year. Dont know how well a trade discount card would work out.

What about alternators?

I see there were a few with different size holes for fixing.

If thats no good I recently (xmas eve) bought an alternator from here:

was £90 including next day delivery, and you didn't need to return the old one or anything
