Just my two pence worth, I have a newish 2.0 TDI VW Touran and it has a fairly powerful alternator, 110amps and a 70amp battery, not massive but fairly powerful compared to other cars I have owned, I wonder what my Peugeot 406 2.1TD has? - It's spiked my interest in a sad techy kind of way...

The message from "Stuffed" contains these words:
My L-reg is the newest car I've owned. Company cars don't count.
My MG1300 had a 55A alternator if memory serves.
My current Focus has a 90A.

Shame it's probably CD not radio, or one of these might help...
A few years ago I had an H reg, probably the newest thing I've ever owned. Can't think I've ever had a car less than 9/ 10 years old actually. Can't say that bothers me all that much either, although it'd be nice to get parts without mail order sometimes.
That'd be the one. Although mine's not an MG, but would have the better alternator due to luxury bits ;)
My 1980 daily driver has a 45A, but no c/l, leccy windows, or any other new fangled gizmos, so it just about copes. I'd still like to put something with a bit more grunt on there though, as I fancy fitting central locking and uprating the lights a little (Lucas sealed lamps, really quite poor compared to modern stuff).
