Quoted by a Garage ...
..... to supply and fit a reconditioned Alternator to a renault Clio Oasis - 1171cc 1993
Labour - £ 70 - 2 HRS
Parts - £ 117 .
I'm not mechanically minded so wont be able to do it myself .
Is this a reasonable price ?

OK I found this on removing an alternator from a Clio

I can see why it's two hours
Must be sandwiched in unbelievably tightly!

£200 to replace a knackered alternator ? Total rip off IMO - less than 1/2 hr labour.
Plus it's not even a new one - don't go to that garage again !!
Re-conditioned alternators are made out of old knackered ones that have been handed in - money is normally knocked off because of this.
Anyway, too late now - at least you got some sort of a better deal.
