Try going on a parts supplier website such as GSF car parts or Euro car parts. as you can enter your reg number and will bring up the correct unit.

Nothing like as simple as matching JUST the output amperage - it needs to have same mounting points, and same pulley as original, and possible variations in electric connector too!
As suggested, Eurocarparts, GSF, Halfords or the like, enter your registration number to find compatible part. A local auto electrician may be able to fix your old one, and possibly cheaper than a replacement, but otherwise expect new for old exchange (or deposit for exchange over and above purchase price), AND check replacement comes complete with pulley, you may have to swap old pulley onto new alternator!

Find your local Bosch service centre, they will be able to provide a suitable replacement.
Alternatively have a search on autoelectro.co.uk my quick search suggests its a Ford part.
