   best thing is to just buy a new one mate, by the time you get reconditioned ones, you dont know how long they will last and by the time you have had a few you could of got a new one
   
   or you could try and get just the brushes and replace them

   £30 off ebay on average, should last for a long time, alternators are not generally weak!
   
   sod paying the full whack for a new one personally
