Alternator

[Toastfrenzy]

Just run up #17 and checking aux belt, as just changed it, noticed the alternator was very hot to the touch.
Is this normal bear in mind i'do only run the Clio for 2-4 minutes.

Never felt one before after engine running so nothing to compare it too.

Is it hotter than the exhaust manifold?

I would say not - as that gets far too hot to touch.
