Mine desperately needs doing as is making a horrendous rattling noise but not sure how much I should be paying for one.

Thank you

IMHO steer clear of any main dealership for anything as simple as this.

I'd expect around£100 for a new alternator from a motor factor or somewhere like eurocar parts.

Might it just be the tensioner on the belt that is making the noise rather than the alternator itself?
