It was a brand new unit, RTX brand, £195, Bosch ones were astronomical prices I could fit a fair few rtx ones for the same cost. I have had a word with the supplier of the alternator and they will send a no quibble new unit out on receipt of my old one. Good of them I suppose but does leave me without the car for nearly 2 weeks in between, good job I have another 4.6is hehe. $190 damn that’s cheap.
