Alternator has failed and I am about to replace it. Believe that its a S--- of a job. What the best steps to get to the top and bottom bolts. I am thinking of going though the front removing the grill, radiator etc. And for the bottom bolts remove the engine protection pan and get access from the underside of the car.
Happy for any better methods.

welcome - theres a couple of ways to do it, and theyre all a pain. When you get a new alternator, fit an oil shroud as oil contamination seems to be what kills most of the alternators...see this thread which vaguely describes both alternatives
