Replacing Alternator

[Nee-the-bogeyman]

Hi Guys.

Battery light came on the dash and eventually the car cut out with the usual warning messages etc that happen when the battery dies.

Re-charged the battery and the car starts fine for a while, then dies again. I can also hear a whine from the engine that wasn't there before, so i suspect the Alternator has died.

I've done a bit of reading and it seems to be a bugger of a job to replace, does anyone have any experience to confirm this?

I'm quite handy under the bonnet but if it's a tough job I might have to bite the bullet and get a mobile mechanic out.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit ** Forgot to say, it's a 2.7 Deisel**

Thanks
Neil
