Alternator problems

The battery light has been dimly glowing in my 92 9000S for about 2 months now. EDU reads from 12 volts at idle to 14.2 volts at speed. Shop just told me it was a bad diode.
Question 1 - since it's been like this for a while now, is there any risk of damage to other components by not doing anything?
Question 2 - if I need t fix it, any good sources for cheap alternators or can I replace just the diode pack? Any other cars use this type of Bosch alternator (i.e vw, etc)?
BTW - alternator was replaced exactly 13 months ago, so brushes, regulator, etc are all fine. Shop won't honor 1 year warranty but that's another story.
Thanks
Ron
