Not bad at all,is a '95 yes? I wouldn't call an alternator a service part exactly but not anything to get worked up about. Putting the new one in yourself? Want a hand chap?

Not bad really, cheapish to fix I'd hope!

Considering the rex's alleged fraglity I'm chuffed with only 1 breakdown in the 30 months/20k miles I've owned it - a split hydraulic hose in the clutch system. Had a few other things repaired but nothing that made it undriveable (e.g. split intercooler pipe leaking boooooost).
