So I got the alternator not charging message along with the cat symbol. Did a search and from what i found it means my alternator is still working but not very well. Soon after the emv went off. After driving for 15 minutes the warning went away and has not since returned. Screen is working etc. Do i just ignore this for now?

Should have acted sooner. Message and cat light came on a week after it did originally. Did not go off and eventually battery went flat.
So far I've got the alternator out. Has a bit of oil on it. Ive found a cheap replacement on ebay but the plug is the oval and mine is round. Rebuilding is on the table at about $150. Is it ok to rebuild if it has had oil go through it?

Also got a quote for $300 complete rebuild of pwr steering pump (parts and labour). From my search looks to be a decent price?

Scott,
A kit to reco a PS pump from Mr T is around $60 plus about $20 for bearings,from a bearing trader, if you have basic mechanical knowledge, it is not difficult
