And driving it for 40 miles with the battery light on just helped finish the alternator off 

Lol. At lesat you got a wild bean / cost coffee!

After losing the heater, radio, abs warning light, soon followed by the power steering I knew the end was nigh so detoured into the petrol station for that very reason mikey

Costa hot chocolate ftw 

You do well when its a Costa! Made the right choice to hang on with no ABS or power steering. Although i am partial to the Wild Bean cafe's at BP. Do come across a lot of service stations on my day to day. lol

Jay, time will tell. I just dropped it off as a priority job, and I know the bloke now so he said he will try and do it as cheap as possible 

Well I hope it can be refurbed for you mate, I think they're the same engine/alternator as the Zafira and that went at 90k and cost £850 to sort
