Id say around 300 to 400 fitted.

if your anyway handy.. you could pick one up from a breakers for around €50.00 and replace it yourself...
very easy to do.....

don't want to go at it myself. would be afraid of putting back on the belt that it would go wrong.

Most "broken" alternators don't need to be replaced, its usually a question of putting in new coals or changing the diode/regulator...much cheaper.
Talk to your local car electrics place first before you buy new.

Myles Balfe in Phibsboro will recondition it for you.

^ and remove, and fit the reconditioned one! They have a place on the southside too....

You sure it isnt the power steering pump maybe?

That's bizarre.

More than likely it's something wrong with the PS. Here's how to fix the servo motor.

would the OP mean the alternator BELT ?? does it drive the p/s pump?, not familiar with the car

Don't the Punto's have electric power steering ? (ie. no pumps or hydraulics)
