Tensioner arrived and fitted.Piece of cake.The bad bit:- GSF supplied a 6PK1130 drive belt that does not fit.Their listing shows it as the correct one.I have measured it with the old belt and there is a 10mm shortfall on the new belt.The only way to fit it is with the top alternator bolt removed.Anybody else had this problem. Cheers.

The belt notation is:6 = no of ribs
1130 = length
I'm surprised it doesn't fit as Quinton Hazell list the belt as being 61132 (same interpretation - so 2 mm longer - which would be taken up in the adjustment)
That belt changes in July 95 for a belt with a length of 1113mm and that is used to 2001.
The aircon belts are all in the range of 1700 and would be obviously different.
I wonder whats happened here? Are the markings still visible on the belt - I don't know how it was identified - and expect they read the belt - but its just possible it was in a marked sleeve and had been swapped over.
Has someone been fiddling before you got the car?

Look at the alternator support bracket - the one that holds the alternator onto the engine.
If this has kind of 4 support bolt eyes to hold the alternator upper & lower bolts - then its the later type drivebelt (1113) you need as pr Jeremy.
If the bracket only have a single eye holding the upper alternator bolt - then its the earlier type drivebelt 1132.
In neither cases the alternator itself can be adjusted - unless the complete setup has been modified.
Its not just a question of fitting the belt onto the rollers ? In many cases a perfectly fitting belt can be quite fiddly to initially go over the rollers.

apparently previous owner suffered an alternator pulley problem and the AA organised a botch repair at a motorway service area.Clearly this is why the 1130/1132 belt does not fit.Just been and got a s/h alternator from breakers and the belt fits a treat.Was able to fit the pulley with alternator in situ.
Thanks for replies.
