Lol, well £130 lighter and 2 hours of farting around later in the dark with a lead light and a floodlight for company, and two mates smoking biftas behind (above) me, i have a re-attatched alternator, and tightened all the belts up nicely, so everything seems to be working just nice now.
Car don't half feel a bit iffy now with full PAS, not so sure about chucking it into corners anymore. Need to learn to drive again i think. Oh well, at least it's done now - well until the next thing goes wrong anyhow.
