voltage regulator then. 16v more, does than mean 30v ? im surprised it wasnt blowing things up.

is the regulator on the outside of the alternator, or is it built in ?
ive been told that its a common problem with the wifes golf £40 to replace but most garages will tell you you need a new alternator
