Car returned, alternator re-conditioned and new aux belt/pulley fitted. Running fine now.

And to top it off it sailed through the MOT today with NO advisories again!

Need to replace the thermostat soon though, discovered it runs at about 80 where it should be nearer 85/90.

Get either a genuine, or a febi thermostat

Replace the housing too as it often fails
