Gunnarramonet,
I'd suggest taking it to your local
starter/alternator/generator rebuilder and letting
them rebuild it. Then again, it might just be the
brushes or regulator that needs replacing.
I'd say that a lot of that $290 is because its a
Peugeot alternator, but, either way, I'm pretty sure
that the cost to rebuild it wouldn't be significantly
more than any other run of the mill Marchal, Marelli,
Iskra, or Bosch unit. You might get lucky and only
have to pay $40 or so. Of course, you'll have to R&R
it.
Good luck!
Regards,
Ben Pender
