I have a 1.4 16v corsa and am enquiring about getting a new alternator.

I emailed a guy about one and got this response

Regarding the alternator, this unit is listed as fitting the 1.4i 16v 1994-1999. To be double sure just check that your original alternator is an internal fan ( there is no fan behind the pulley- it is inside the casing) and that it is a multi-v pulley (flat belt).

How do i go about checking for this fan and type of belt????

HELP!!

Has your car got PAS? If not then that alternator won't work as you won't have flat belt.

If you have PAS then that alternator WILL work with your car. The pulley on the alternator is a PAS one.
