What size bolt is it stew? That idea may still work if it's 8mm on the thread try a 6mm and a wee dab on the end ( personally I think it will be too tight and have to be drilled, but looking at the possible outcome of engine out I would be willing to try almost owt rather than do that.

Yes it is, i would put some wd40 or similar in for a couple of days first to soak in. Try to get in with a centre pop first ( in the centre) to line up the drill. Good luck.

That could be a good thing to help you drill it.
I suggest a combination of Flacks idea of a small 90 degree drill (if you haven't got access to a air powered 'windy' then I think dremmel do a 90 degree attachment) and make a bush to fit over the drill bit, and into the hole, which will support and centre the drill. You have more chance of getting a hole with a bush to hold it.
This all depends how much room there actually is, my guess is that if a drill will fit, then a stud extractor will too.

Left hand drill bits are the way forward!! I swear by them! 
I've also got an extractor set that comes with guides for drilling the centre of a broken bolt down a hole like you've got!!

Stew I really hope you manage to sort this yourself

Stew, I'm the same. I always try to do the work myself. But sometimes I've got so much work coming in and deadlines to meet, I've just gotta pay someone else to do it
