Fan belt required

[seamus]

Assuming it's a standard Rover V8 part - then Allparts in Loudwater or Wooburn Land Rover down the wooburn hill from Holtspur..

Always found part in hand, so to speak, to be the best bet.

The TVR Centre or Tower View? Good luck.

Hi Gents. Where could we get a fan belt for the seac at short notice, near High Wycombe? cheers.

Is it V belt or Poly V (out of interest)

[gsx600]

I took mine to local Halfrauds /Partco and they matched one up for me, especially useful as I needed a longer one than before when changed engine and position of water pump.

If it's a v type belt try and get the replacement deep V type as they are a bit stronger than the slim V type

And don't forget to get 2 whilst you are there, have a spare then !!

If its Poly V on the original non Serp engine like mine, you have no chance at Halfords or any other motorparts place, I have tried!

V8 Developments should be able to help.

Why not call you local TVR specialist .. who is based at High Wycombe.. you know who he is

[stever]

Don't forget there's a Landrover spares place in Downley High St

Could also try Henley Heritage or TVR Power may also do one mail-order..

Thought you might say that... Glad it's sorted..

Cheers for the help Guys, as Gaz said it has been sorted. It kept throwing the belt/twisting it during "defensive driving". Turned out the old one was slightly to narrow.
Roll on Sunday and Bruntingthorpe, and the challenge of the freshly tuned rice rocked. ( It stands no chance)

Yep, last of the pop-up lights cars in RHD to be sold in the UK (or is that the 456?) and I reckon that one may at least give SS a run for his money in a slalom.
