Morning All!

My first post, be kind!! :)

Rattle/bearings noise on my 1.2 9N3....no charge light or running issues, replacements online £30 upwards for used parts.
Easy repair? I appreciate the belt, and I will change this at the same time.

Any advice appreciated, great forum for home mechs like me too.

Better to take advantage of GSF doing 40-45% off each weekend (just sign up their newsletter) and get a new alternator from there. Theyll give you around £50 back for the old one as theres a surcharge so works out to not a great deal more to fit a reconditioned one.
