Planning to purchase an alternator, but not sure which one to choose.

There are number of suitable new units available on ebay from 90GBP to 170GBP including postage to Ireland.

Most expensive option would be from mr2-ben for 170GBP.

The one I'm currently running started to emit a faint humming noise.

This one is an aftermarket unit I installed in 2016 and currently has 83.000km

It has a Denso part number on it, but it's not a Denso unit.

I'm hoping to buy one as a backup in case the current one gives up the battle.

From 1st of January, customs will apply for stuff from the UK to Ireland, so I want to buy it before that.
