Hey guys, firstly sorry to keep asking questions about parts, I'll try to actually contribute something from now on! 
So the other day my local garage quoted me £780 for a new alternator
I phoned Ford and they didn't want to know, probably because of the high cost, and I can't find anything that looks genuine online. I did find a few cheap ones made by other brands, but that seems like quite a gamble. So does anyone know where to get a new alternator for a V6? Or is it worth getting a refurbished one, or getting mine refurbished?
Thank you all once again for your help
