A scrappy is gonna be your best friend jamie, thats if you need it urgent

ok well off i go then, are they the same on the 200's

 

You're going to scrapyard to get a belt? I wouldn't if I were you, worth it going bang again? they only cost a few quid new

 

from where? and well i need it today :-/

 

Anyone give you a lift to halfords, ex rover dealer, xpart dealer etc....?

 

i can use another car but will they stock them :S

 

mate rover hasnt been bust for 50 years and only a few in existent halfords would still stock belts for them

 

give them a ring..

 

i'd have thought an alternator belt would be a common part used by MGR, not a make/model specific one...
my dad buys cambelts for our 1.5hp lawn tractor to drive the blades.

 

any motor factors will have them!

 

halfords defiantly have em, as thats where i got mine when i changed mine...

 

Yep. Halfords. Thats where i got the alternator and fan belt for my Mondeo a few years back.

 

ive got one, now i just need to fit it errrmmmm help

 

haha i have oone on my tool box mate

 

i have one now but how do i fit it....

 

you should of got a powerstteering belt aswell lol you need to release the belt tensioner on the side of the block.... (take p/S belt of first...should be on an auto tensioner....i used a spanner from underneath the car with the wheel off to pull it back and cable tied the spanner to the car holding the tensioner off as its sprung loaded quite strongly haha) then once the tensioner on the alt belt is released should be able to prise it off....i find it harder putting the belts back on than taking them iff haha

 

what are all the tools ill need dudes as ill have a hunt now for them, and couldnt afford powersteering belt if i wanted one haha dont get paid till monday

 

one haha dont get paid till monday

You get paid on a bank holiday?

 

when was the car last serviced... any mention of the belts being worn??? any strange noises (squeeking/screeching)??? i would be concirned that more damage has been done to the alternator and automatic tentioner.

do u have air con cos that makes a difference as to how u change the belt.

hope this helps

car was serviced when the HG went about 2k ago but i have just found out that we put the old alternator belt back on the car so after buying one yesterday didnt need to also there was a small screeching that i had planned to sort out this weekend which is a bum

 

more than liky ya tentioner is buggered and or the actual alternator pulley

 

but the belt has snapped off, which i would of assumend ment the belt had worn out?

 

put ya new belt on mate. if you dont have air con then the alternator is the tensioner.
