I was thinking that myself. What's cost and labour of an alternator do you know? ThanksAlternator
This happened to me only a few weeks ago. Fortunately I had a spare connector and fixed it in 20mins. I was expecting a 3 figure bill for a new 'nator, so was pleasantly surprised.It's worth checking the power supply terminal hasn't snapped at the alternator end. Thick red wire with a ring terminal on it. They usually corrode, weaken, then snap. I had this happen on mine.
Sometimes the nut for the terminal comes undone, sometimes it doesn't which means you'll need a new alternator anyway.
for £25 i suspect thats just the belt, but it really should be done with the tensioner as thats just a common to fail as belt.The belts only gonna be an extra 25 quid he said so I think I'm gonna. Then from there straight to Custom Pipes to let them have a look at my loose, rattly exhaust and price up a decat! Hopefully will sort the battery light anyway as it had a new battery last week.
