Hi SP 3.2. very simple job you just need a 15mm ring spanner to push the tensioner back , Remember to make a note of which way it goes on all the pulleys, i forgot when i did mine and it took bloody ages to work out. Think i paid about 12 pounds with trade card from vaux or 20 piunds plus vat without TC. If you have aircon you will also need to undo the support braket for the pipe so you can slip the old belt off.

Cheers

If you mean the aux belt it is dead easy: should take you all of 15 minutes.  If I were you I'd strip and regrease the tensioner while I was at it as well.

To fit and remove: 15mm spanner on the tensioner and push the tension off: slide the belt on or off the waterpump pulley and you're there.  there may be a mount on an aircon pipe to take off so you can thread the belt but its about 1 bolt.

Sorry i can't help with supplying the belt as i get stuff from andyc and it take a while for bits to get to me (parents do the transport).  however if you get stuck and need a hand pm me as I'm just outside coventry.
