'might' still have the alternator from that 2.2 with 37k on the clock, that I broke a while back, boxed up somewhere if you get stuck Rob.

How many pennies if I go down that route

I assume you've checked the battery crimps? When breaking down they can give similar symptoms Or check the voltage readings direct from the back of the alternator to confirm/rule out actual alternator fault

Seem intact and only get warm to the touch

If something gets warm, then you have volt drop.

Using a volt meter, Place one probe on the battery + terminal and the other ideally on the + on the alternator. You could also pierce the main + wire also. Any voltage on the meter represents volt drop/ resistance.
