When I input that P/N into CAPS, it says its a 75W alternator. Anyway, its very likely that the rectifier (AKA diode pack) needs replacing, assuming you have the alternator out of the car and you're handy enough, you should be able to fit it yourself. Otherwise, a decent autoelectrician can do the job for you for 200 euro or less.

Thats because there no money in it!

The diode pack p/n is MD619002, I'd start with calling your local Mitsi dealer, you should be able to pick one up cheap enough.
