Alternator issues... New old refurb

Hi all, after yesterday's power loss due to I'm 99.9% sure alternator dying and therefore my battery going to zero, I'm in need of an alternator.

My question is, do I just go out and buy a brand new one? A second hand one? Or a refurbished one?

I think new are around 250! But at least that should last, 2nd hand may die in a 1000 mile for all I know, then the refurb, anyone had issues with these?

 

Muchos gracias.

Cheers guys, I got that 250 price off whifbitz, first port of call for pricing as I didn't know the part number. Not even sure if that's new or refurb tho as u can exchange old.

I'll take a look at the eBay page thanks.

After checking the battery voltage while off, ticking over, revved, listening to it, and touching it (and burning finger tip) I'd now say 100% it's the alternator with bearing problems.
