I also replaced the alternator before it had chance to let me down, it's another common watch-out once you get up past 70-80k, they work hard in these cars.
Hope it works out for you.
Yeah this one doesn't have a tow bar, I'm not fussed, I think I'll add some sort of rear bar for recovery points anyway, I have barely towed with mine over the years. Offroad Animal has a rear bar setup that bolts to the tow bar points and has recovery points, pricey, but looks alright.
