It costs something like £10k to replace the alternator on a VW Tourag as the whole engine needs removing

I dont think its such a bad job TBH...a couple of hours at the most...

But it really needs a ramp, and ive a good mechanic mate who im happy to pay to do it

I really dont intend paying £750 though...AFAIK its an astra alternator, so he is going to source a recon unit

Forgot that they only use new parts in most Vaux garages and that thier labour is rather expensive...

Which is why i have a mate doing it who charges £35 an hour and the recon unit (hopefully) is going to cost £150
