Anybody know if its the same as something none Ferrari? I need a new one, but Ferrari one is just under £600 brand knew.

And I'm a tight Yorkshireman!

Are you sure you need a new one? They are designed to be completely rebuildable, so all the internals can be rewound and the bits on the back replaced.

Would rather have a new one. Been told the service kits are not always best way to go as they tend not to fix the problem longterm?

How long since you did yours?

Yes they are rebuildable.
There was a guy mentioned on Club Scuderia that rebuilds them.
He was called something original, like the Alternator Man, from what I recall.

QV had mine done by a specialist in Slough, think it was about £80 IIRC

if you're handy with a screw driver and spanner you can do the work yourself. Have a look on FerrariChat.com and search for 355+alternator there will be plenty of step by step photo guides and the right part numbers for your alternator.
