£80 -£100

fitment isnt hard its just awkward...like most of the stuff in the engine bay.

if you wanted to make it easier pop out the rad to give your self some more room :)

it might just be the brush pack, i had a reconned clio 1.9 diesel 90 amp alternator fitted onto mine. the body is larger and its a snug fit, but it fits. checked the brushes on the old alternator and they were worn, so im going to get a new brush pack and keep it as a spare.
