I'm sure you know this anyay! Thanks for all the brilliant content on your channel.

Bargain!!! A £180 alternator. Quite recently I had to pay £680 to change the alternator on my 2007 1.2 Volkswagen Polo Car. Although, to be fair to it, I've had the car for ages and it's the only failure it's had so far. The battery's still good, as I caught the alternator issue early and I drove it to the garage about 40 minutes with as much as possible switched off (radio, fan) after the battery light first came on.
