just seen a few on ebay for £90 might give it a shot, will wait until the garage confirms it is the alternator 100% (im pretty convinced it is but he said it could also be timing chain depending on the noise...)
Again thanks guys, coming from hyundai coupe community it is nice to see that the crossfire community is as helpful
whilst i'm there i might as well ask, my crossfire keeps oversteering to the left for some reason(not drastically but enough to be noticeable)... there shouldnt be any reason for that as tire pressure is spot on, bushes seem alright, anyone experienced that before ?
thanks
