The 'search' facility can be useful for this sort of thing, especially the advanced search, but you need to enter 'fan belt' instead of 'alternator belt' (too many sad old gits on this forum...):

Possibly not a definitive answer, but may help you on your way.

good luck,

This "sad old git" laugh bought a Goodyear FAIG10AV1175 FAN belt from local motor factors, can't remember how we worked out that was the one, maybe they still had it listed in their catalogues ?

If broken one is not in the middle of the road somewhere take it with you as a pattern, or look for any numbers still visible on it ?

Take care to get the correct width as well as the correct length of belt

If you get say a 10mm wide belt it could sit too low in the pulley and appear to be too long. a 13 wide sits much higher in the pulley and provides more adjustment as it wears/stretches - but watch out for your new belt sitting higher than your old one and touching the hose... yikes

nowts straight forward eh ?
