Would it make more sense the glow plug controller since what is the odds four plugs are all broken?
Alternator faults returns prior to stalling issue so not related.

Very likely to have glow plug failure. They only last 100,000km and fault out (open/short) due to number of heating/cooling cycles.

The controller is also known to go bad (same welded joints as ABS controller) so just replace the lot....
