Flashing stop and battery light

Getting the stop and battery light flickering on the way to work in the 182. Had a look under the bonnet and it appears my alternator isn’t where it should be.



Loosened the bottom bolt and used a pry bar to get it back in place but wouldn’t move enough to line it up.

Is this the cause of the problem and what am I missing to get it back up ?

Thanks.

The superhuman strength needed to compress the aux belt tensioner, normally have to compress that with a jubilee clip or similar, then roll the belt back on

Run with caution with that alternator bolt out as if the aux belt strips will likely take the cambelt out or at least jump a few teeth

Wouldn't be running that at all till it's back together.

Thanks for the advice, I work 30 miles from home and tried getting it back this evening to a friend to sort. Didnt make it, it’s currently in a car park about 10 mile from home. Had to get a lift back to work and pick up the ph1 🤦🏻
