Well technically that's what it just had :D but fair enough

Does anyone know what alternator I need and what it should cost as a part only?

Barking up the wrong tree.....I think your in the wrong forest..

Statement number one is a right load of......4 pots maybe but, not V6's

Number 2 is also wrong, on the V6 no crank angle signal = no engine run.

Re your problem....you have a faulty alternator.....fix the obvious fault first!

I suspect its gone to the next stage of failure now and the reg has gone open crcuit (it was short circuit and hence the high voltage!).

Was the alternator replaced by a Vaux dealer,?

just repeating what I read, seemed to make sense.

no sadly not it was replaced in May this year by a local garage in coventry, the parts and work are guaranteed for 12 months but I'm in London so I can't see how I can make any kind of claim as they'll want to see the car.

£235 for replacement alternator from WJ King Masterfit in Woolwich last week, all is fine, battery appears to have survived, touch wood.

Thanks for the help.
