Squeaky alternator under load
Discussion
Actually, I had this problem once, and decided it was the front bearing, and believe or not, it turned out to be the fanbelt. Changing the bearing made no difference !
It sounds ridiculous, but the fanbelt was old and polished on the 'V', and was slipping just enough to squeek under load....

The squeak is back - I might splash out and get a whole alternator off the flea (54 quid new) is ours an A127? And then open up the old one and replace any bits, to keep as a spare...
Actually looks like an A133 now I've found some old posts - but will an A127 fit too - they have a better (70A) current rating.

There is a place in Borhamwood called unit exchange. Google it. They rebuild starters, alternators etc. They also have exchange units. I've used them before. Excellent. Very helpfull and know their stuff. If that's too far for you look for a place similar nearer to you. Advantage of these places is that you can take your unit in. Whatever it is. They will test it and tell you the problem. Once I went there they told me my unit is fine. It was something else, so they are not money grabbers. They can rebuild your unit or exchange it for another off the shelf.

I've used http://www.sandcelectrical.com/ for a non-TVR alternator and a non-TVR starter motor
