Garage snaped injector bolt

As suggested the regulator is a reasonable check.

If you’re handy it’s a cheap and easy fix - worth a try

Where's best to get the regulator in uk?
I've done the dash voltage check and it's running 11.9v at minus-16amps

Didn't know you could.

Check it at the battery for an accurate reading.

Was that with the engine off or running?

Engine running

That is too low. Ideally around 14.2 V

Autodoc, eBay - google it. You’ll need the alternator model number

Just been goggling round and I come across mention of an alternator fuse on some models!
Does anyone know if the w204 has one? And if so where is it?

As I understand it the bolt snapped on removal.
He's already said he's gona get a guy that specialises in stud removal to look at it! But my main concern is who pays for this guy? And if he can't do it it who pays for the supply and fitting of the new head?
I was originally quoted "just an hour or two's labour!" As I sourced the bolts and washers from mb

The point is that with any cars presenting at a garage for repairs, the quote is always based on what the actual problem is and assumes that everything will go according to plan and previous experience with the same repair But most quotes will contain the line "subject to strip and check". So basically, its your car, its your problem, unless you can prove negligence by the garage. Hopefully, it can be sorted either by drilling the stud out, or by fitting a HELICOIL, and you are spared the expense of fitting a new head, Best of luck, Jim.
