The no-power-steer Astra

[Ex-Bay]

How odd!
I pasted in the search results.
Showed 2 alternators, one at £115.91 and the other at £107.63.

Here and here!

That's what I got, but I'm afraid that I had to insert all the details into the search thingy.
I suppose that I COULD have managed to do it cheaper, but I cannot in all honesty complain that it cost a few bucks more on account of me not having the available time and the garage doing it as a bit of an 'emergency' job, and not having the tools. If I'd been where I used to work, it might have been possible.

according to that site, mine would have set me back £92.

Looks like I got a good deal off my local shop.

What sort of car/ alternator is yours ?
I worked out this morning that in order to get my alternator going at full tilt, it takes over 16hp ! (12kW).

The car is a Frontera. Our local access. shop gives 25% off if you take the old one back into them. It then goes for re-manufacturing.
