e36 318is Alternator rebuild

[Chrispyfish]

Seems the alternator is making a bit of a noise so wondering is it best to rebuild or replace with a secondhand unit? Getting a new battery so want to make sure its not a waste of money having a dodgy alternator

What is the cost to rebuild them and where can do it in Dublin?

Thanks

Rebuilt would definitely be best having said that iv replaced alternators with 2nd hand ones with no issue

Cost is usually between 90-140 for a rebuild
