Default Alternater belt snapped
Coming home from work tonight the battery light came on and had no power steering. Looked under the bonnet and the belt has snapped. Does anyone know how much they are and if they are easy to fit??

cheers!!

No need to remove anything at all. I got my belt from an agent for £18.00. Loosen your alternator as much as you can, belt is a really tight fit.

well you need to loosen the adjuster and then adjust back up. If you think you can stretch an alternator belt then i guess youve never held one lol
