Removing an alternator from 96 Lantra
 

Is it right that to remove the alternator from a 1996 Lantra 1.8 CD Auto, the
driveshaft has to be disconnected/removed?

I don't think so. If this is the same vehicle as that in the U.S., the
alternator is in the front near the radiator. After removing the oil
filter, you should be able to take the belt off, unbolt the alternator,
and take it out the bottom.
