The same happened to me a few weeks ago. I bottled it and paid for my local indy to do the job. It took them 5 hours and I was charged £520. Without doubt, the most expensive alternator replacement I've ever paid for

I've recently done this on my tdv8. The manual states a number of steps that weren't necessary. The two lower bolts are a pain to remove, I had to modify a number of 13mm sockets to be able to release them. Besides from that there wasn't really any trouble once you figure out what parts to remove and how.

So far removed the wheel arch liner, lower splash shield, airbox and fan cowling and one turbo pipe. Top alternator bolt is easy but the two lower ones can't be accessed unless two lower turbo pipes are removed?

The fan doesn't need to be removed. You can reach the tensioning pulley with a socket wrench.
