Are we looking wrecked belt = siezed alternator in which case little chance
of an exchange or overhaul.Wonder why they quoted on a 100 amp IIRC thats
the spec for the 300tdi, cheapest oem 85amp £48 inc postage
http://tinyurl.com/27gxwa £3 for the belt and an hours labour so under a
ton then?

the 100A magneti marelli on the disco 300 tdi is quite capable of seizing
solid with little warning :-(
