Boxing day drama!!

Just coming back from my sisters (60miles from home) in Moreton when when car lost all electrics within a 5min window. Luckily I was able to pull over safely another 1/4 mile it would have been more dangerous. Got the AA out, they checked it, there was a "short" in the alternator and had drained the battery.

I've been looking at ££'s it's either £350+ or £110. Whilst I realise the cheaper end won't be a genuine part but are they reliable???

Found one on ebay has a 12 month warranty. £109 brand new is this worth getting out is it a pile of tat?

aftermarket parts are never gonna be the same original genuine parts

but its got a 12 month warranty so apart from removing to get swapped if it fails its worth it

if you were closer I might be breaking a 2.2 very soon would have maybe worked a deal with used item
