Alternator details

[Bunglist]

Can anyone help, as i need to buy a new alternator and was wondering if anyone knows the correct one that i should be ordering.

IE does anyone have any part no.'s for the unit.

It is for a 5.0l Chimaera.

Is it a serpentine engine?

What's up with the old one Bunglist? Just askin' because earlier in the year I stripped down my old unit and replaced the bearings etc; took me a couple of hours to do and cost me about £12 (easy job). I posted the procedure on here someplace. Parts for most alternators can be bought on-line at reasonable cost.

Additionally, I found that the prices for the same alternator varied enormously. I could pay double (or again half) for a similar unit so shop about.

Not 100% shaw, but there is strong electrical burning smell from it and part of the electrics on the back, i think are playing up.
