Do you mean the alternator belt?
Or the timing belt?
No fans on a rear engine water cooled..

After having the RAC trying all the different belts supplied by euorparts and GSF I would suggest you go to a local motor factor where you can take back the ones that don't fit.

Good point...
Brickwerks is a supplier of quality parts...
Also check with the company who made the van if their OE parts are cheaper... than ebay.

.. Buy cheap, buy twice I have found.
buy good quality parts mate, from reputable dealers.
For the saving you make on an alternator belt
it's just not worth the risk in my opinion.

When my belt went I just thought it meant the battery would not be charging but the engine soon got very hot and the warning light was flashing and I was stuck in the outside lane in traffic, lucky not to have a head gasket go.
