Yeah had a look at the alternater, theres signs that muddy water has been there but its not thick of it! There is signs that water has been in the bottom of the battery box but only enough to cover the floor of it

use a multimeter to check the battery voltage with the engine running, it should be around 14 volts. This will tell you for sure if the alternator is smoked.
