[QUOTE="KevH, post: 594221, member: 16451"] Cheers Oz. I am having the engine dropped this coming week and having a good look around the fan housing, as suggested. I have had good feel around already and all seems well back there, ie there is no play, the fan and alternator rotate smoothly, no obvious causes of tension of blockage. But will look closer once access is easier. The alternator was on the bus when I bought it in 2011, so I don't know its history. Maybe it is just tired...I know the feeling. :D Not sure which replacement to buy, I have been reliably told that they are all basically the same, which doesn't inspire confidence in them, but will probably go with a higher output.
