It’s the first signs of your alternator failing I’m afraid.

Have you any idea what ir would cost cheapest option please

Just had a quick look online, £50 for a used one seems the average.

Paul 44 25th April 2019 14:01

Have you any idea how much it would cost to fit , I'm sorry for all question but got so much on my plate and nothing is working working out

madeupname 25th April 2019 14:12

Cost of fitting in a garage will depend on what their hourly rate is.
A local forum member who knows what they're doing would be cheaper I suspect.:}

Also worth checking to see if there is an obvious cause for the unit to fail - possibly PAS hose or leak from the PAS pump gasket that joins the two halves together that lives just above the alternator, oil ingress is a killer of the alternators on these. Well worth checking this out prior to having repairs carried out rather than ignore it as the costs will be significantly greater for 2 alternators and one PAS pump ETC.
