Are the belts loose or come off?
Electrical connections, connected on the alternator?
Wash the mud off your truck and give it a polish, it may run OK.

Joking aside, hose the mud out of the alternator and clean the brushes, you might be OK.

Gave it a good clean but NFG
Got a new one down to £159 but going with a local motor factors £165 trade

Anyone know somewhere down south i could get the old one reconditioned as a spare?

Subtle mate! I'll go and have a look........................

Its just a press fit, a good wiggle and gentle levering gets it out, I'd put it back with a little loctite to make sure it seals.

If you worried about damaging the fitting ( its not that strong and bends easily, trust me I know! ), just swap your whole old vacuum pump on to the new alt.
