I have replaced the alternator because it was frying the battery. Whilst I was doing that I decided that a new fan belt and oil breather pipes were required. Used Bosch BXH1236 alternatorPlease see the Alternator alternative tutorial for more information.
Cost:
Alternator (Bosch BXH1236) - $160 (rrp $230 - do not pay this!)
Fan belt (Bosch 11A0865) - $14 (rrp $16.50)
Oil breather pipe - $2.96 per metre
