The alternator warning light came on and the car was taken in. I had the alternator repaired last year in January, and have only done 18 000km since then which is really not great at all.
Maserati have said it's not worth repairing again and have quoted me on a new one, which is R23 300 (£1100) including fitting.
Surely I should be able to source an after-market Denso alternator elsewhere and get if fitted? I'm reluctant to get this one repaired again to only expire in another 18 000km.
Looks like I'll only get 40 000km out of a new one anyway, judging from past experience. That's really kak quality in my books - how come a Toyota can hold the alternator together for at least 100 000km?
