Worth making sure whether it is the alternator or just the regulator. Admittedly my G is not the same (1991 463 G300) so my experience might not apply but got a new regulator a year or so ago for £54 + VAT. My regular garage got it so probably sourced from MB dealer parts dept.

A lot cheaper than a new alternator.

Do you have an auto electrician nearby? In most cases, your existing one can be rebuilt.

Probably a stupid question but have you tried your MB dealer parts dept?

Is it a Bosch unit? My garage is a Bosch Service Centre so it's possible they got a regulator via that route if not from MB parts department.

You can find your nearest by entering your postcode here:- https://www.boschcarservice.com/gb/en

Apologies if you've already thought of all the above.
