Thanks Martin- that's what happens when you rely on Google!
Ordered the genuine part which was £124 posted. Going to the garage tomorrow but it's annoying as I want to rule the alternator bearing out as the suspect too!
Squealing is horrendous and also the belt is powdering near to the alternator

Is this the right part? Seems suspiciously cheap mind you
That part lists as only for the WagonR+

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

If you can get the alternator apart, you should be able to remove the bearing and match it either from the size, or the numbers on it.
I couldn't get the casing apart, I was sure that it would break, but as you don't want the front bearing, you could warm the casing round the bearing and try.
Of course, you won't be able to drive the car until the alternator is replaced, and you won't be able to exchange it in pieces.
