Buy a genuine alternator,
I guess from the fault that you got it from a local motor factors?

Yourr right it’s a Bosch one. Did not have time, needed the car back ASAP for work. Is there any way to circumnavigate it, there is a thread on another site that states you can but joining wires at the fuse box
