Hey guys,
Recently the battery light has been on for a while. I replaced it with a brand new one and it is still on and wanting to stall. Y guess is the alternator but is it something else? If it is the alternator how hard is it to replace yourself. Thanks

It most likely is the alternator, unlike the V6 alternator the voltage regulator is internal. Replace the whole alternator. Maybe call into an auto electrician to confirm that it is the alternator.
Installing it is quite difficult but can be done yourself if you are fairly mechanically minded.

If you have the tools, and can spin a spanner,
your half way there,

Just remember to DISCONNECT the battery.
