TVM

I have jump started the car and ran for a few minutes with the ign/charge light glowing.  I will now charge the battery and start searching for  a new alternator!!  (Did'nt get much life out of the last one!!)  Any top tips on the best source of reconditioned units??

VMT.  Couple of bone questions - is the crank sensor easily replaced? How do you check the fault codes.  I am currently searching for the answer on the internet - any ideas.

The alternator was replaced about 12 months ago, so I suspect the volts are ok.  A day after its initial failure I managed to start the car, but lumbered for a couple of minutes and cut out.

I am in the Odiham area - any (cheap) local specialists

I have an ex police mv6.  Recently the car cut out, preceeded by most of the warning lights illuminating (batt/ecu/traction/abs/airbag) and the rpm/mph needles falling to zero.  There was no throttle response and then eventually cut out.  I suspect that the ecu has failed.  The ecu is bosch motronic 0 261 204589 gm 90 566 817.  Can I buy a secondhand replacement - or is there some immobiliser code/veh specific code?  If I can - any suggestions as to the best place to buy? :-?
