Holy macaroni! That's a pain in the ar5e that the belts are NLA, i need a new AC belt and my alternator belts aren't far behind. The PAS one is sort of ok but would benefit from being renewed.

If you know the length of the belts try : https://simplybearings.co.uk/shop/Be...790/index.html

As for the bolt, do you know the length and thread diameter and was it a flange head?

With drive belts also, they don't seem to come up under searches for the 760, nothing at ECP or GSF...is there anywhere I can go to get the belt specs? Ebay seems to imply that the PAS, A/C and Alt belts are the same length which I doubt...

Edit...just saw post above! Plus sounds like the lengths might be printed on the belts if I'm lucky...

Something like a QH catalogue will show cross compatibility, so it should be possivle to identify - with luck - another make and model of car that also uses the same belt. Be nice to yoyr local paarts man.

Have you tried putting your VIN into Skandix website or checking Genuine Classic Parts Catalouge ?

Dave,
I’ve always known them as “stops”. I thought that I had seen them a while ago when searching for something else.
I did a search on google for “stops” and it popped up with several listings for “arresters”.

Try FRF. They have twice found me parts which my local dealer said were NLA. Unfortunately, I recently wanted an air filter for my B200F 940. My local dealer said NLA and FRF said the same so I bought the alternative which is specified for particularly dusty environments. It has a foam pad on it’s underside. Don’t know if this will have any effect on the running etc.

The foam pad is known as the pre-filter Ian and won't effect the running. Even in dusty environs, the filter can be removed and the dust shaken (or blown) out.
