    Help Needed- Alternator Dead

    I'm thinking my alternator has just died or is about to die? Cold start, 10 seconds after starting a sort of bearing binding noise was heard. Shut down restarted and has thrown a P065a code. Clearing just sees it return.
    We've just sold up everything to hit the road with Van so it's the first time in my life I have just one car.
    Would it definitely be an alternator? Where would I source one from in a hurry? Anyone in SA with one lying around willing to help out?

    Sundays are never any good for sourcing parts..... Not sure about non genuine either from places like Repco. Been reading threads across the last hour but don't seem to be getting any wiser. Denso DAN1105 appear to be what I'm looking for if it can be found so option my simply be Solitaire tomorrow.

    Repco are part of what used to be Ashdown Ingram. They'll have access to one. If your in SA use TRS.

    There's no further noises occuring just the charging fault error on the dash and the immediate recurring P065A Error leading me to believe, just replace alternator and be done with it.
    Other issue is I'm with limited tools having sold almost everything we own (to live on the road) no trolly jacks or ramps etc. For those who have replaced are you removing fan and going in from top or coming in through bottom and side leaving fan in place.?

    I did mine on the driveway floor, fan didn't come off, I have this word memory I got it out the bottom.. But that could have been the air con compressor.

    Use a Denso alternator, 160 Amp I think they are. Change from the bottom, pretty easy. Fan does not need to come off
