Ok so harry saw me parked on the pavement last weekend , along with everyone else who lives in chatham cause as the RAC bloke says HT leads and fan belt are shot ! Although when a mechanic turns up to find out an electrical problem for you , your not filled with much hope when he say's "oh so when was the battery moved to the boot?" ******* ! but anyway . ive sorted the HT leads but am having a bit of trouble finding the right size fan belt ?? this is probably because ive changed the alternator ( A127 70 amp )what ive bought just seems to tight its an quinton hazel QBA813? is this the right one,

Get yourself a bit of washing line and measure the belt run with it. The length and width of the belt is marked on it - if a motor factors aren't bright enough to realize this then buy from a dedicated V belt supplier.

For what it's worth the QBA 813 is a 10mm wide 813mm long Z section belt - if you need a bit longer then the next one up is QBA 825.

thank you , now that makes sense now .

  In fact wherever you buy them from, the numbers in the part code are the length in mm as above for the QH belt.  Same applies at Halfords.
