Alternator Help Please

[adrianf.]

Hi folks. i read on here a week or two ago about problems with the alternator/tensioner but ill be bu****ed if i can find it again.

I remember someone saying that the pulley on the alternator can become siezed and cause the tensioner to make funny noises and jump about. IIRC they said about turning the blades inside the alternator with a small screwdriver and they should move in both directions.

Well mine will only turn in a clockwise direction as you look at the alternator from the pulley end and the tensioner in making funny noises when the alternator is under load. So am i correct to say it looks like the pulley is on its way out and if so anybody got an idea of cost.

once again im sorry this is going over old ground but having problems finding the old post.

Any help would be great folks :)
