Looks like a good price!
So are they easy to fit ? Have fitted on euro box in the past but my spanner skills are not great so is the cerb one hard to fit (properply) ?

Disconnect the battery,
Remove Fuel rail,
Remove Alternater.
Refit as removed.

Disconnecting the battery saves any spark's should the leads ground out.

I have family in the Surrey area if you need a hand.

Hi there, pretty straight forward job, take a look at my post for this some time ago:

I bought the exact same alternator, be warned, the pulley is larger than the original on the Cerb and you will have to swap them over.

Gazzab if yours is a 4.5 i think you have to remove an inlet manifold as well.
