While you have it in bits consider a new alternator!! my car has covered 130k and alternator failed yesterday i nearly replaced it when i had the front end off doing all belts and pullies but it tested fine!!
new Denso unit is on it's way!!
But i do not have time to fit it so it is off to local garage!! 2012 Vogue 4.4 TDV8 - Current

Jayk69….I am changing my alternator tomorrow hopefully. I am not looking forward to it.

My tip is when you slide the alternator out make a note of the position of the wire before you disconnect it.

Good tip, cheers

Just for fun, a touch of British green underneath...

You should paint it dark brown, the oil leaks won't show....  Pete

Understood! Just ordered a new alternator! Thanks!!

Sinchan, i did my belts and pullies 18 months ago, i also changed the water pump as it was in bits and seemed like a good idea as these can go when changing to new belts and tensioners. Since i have done that my AC compressor failed in spring this year and as you already know my alternator failed this winter. the AC compressor is a simple fix there is an electric valve in the back of it. this is cheap to replace and i would also recommend replacing it while you car is in bits. I will try to find a link on hear that explains it. You cannot replace this valve with the compressor in place it has to come out, which is why i replaced the whole thing. had i know all this when i did my belts i would have changed the valve at that point.
