I will get a recon alternator fitted. Thank you again for your help.

Well I went for a new Alternator £148 from Mitsubishi + a nice new belt for good measure. All fitted and so far so good.

The old alternator does not sound good when spinning the pulley (out of the car) I am guessing that the brushes are shot, giving me a marginal contact.

Thanks to Ted and all for your help.
