It's about as easy as they come. Just slacken off the Alternator pivot nuts and bolts.

Take the old one to your fanbelt stockist...should have a part number on it anyway.

Alternatively put s few drops of neat washing-up liquid on it, this will cut through the grease and make it bite better.

Or put on talcum powder to regain grip or cut out squeal with the added benefit of a nicely scented engine compartment

PIRELLI IA 15517 is the replacement fan belt according to the TVR wedge pages. (They will probably give you an equiv from a crossover chart)

Note which lower pulley it goes on and make sure all the pulleys line up well.
I'm sure washing up liquid and talcum powder work very well, but they do make belt dressingsmile
