I put pics on my blog on how to renew the aircon belt.

You'll have to look through to find the pics and info.

Thanks, but I really need a more detailed explanation as there seems to be a variety of drive belt set-ups, dependent on which model & year in question.
As mine is identical to your setup, how much more detailed do you need? I even list the correct belt size.
if you can find a number on the belt then just go ask for one of those.
If not just take it off and take it into the store...
failing that the belt numbers are generally of the form QPKRXYZ where Q is the number of ribs the belt has and RXYZ is the length of the belt in millemetres. eg 4PK0990 would be a 4 ribbed belt 990mm long or it may be length divided by ten I can't remember...
Pray to god, but row to shore...

Thanks for the replies; but I've already got the belts - it's the correct procedure to fit & adjust them correctly that I need. I'm a novice at this sort of thing!
I'm not really sure what you're having issues with, you took the belts off right? put them back on the same way.
I generally judge a belt to be tight enough if I get less than say 6 or 7mm deflection over a reasonably long run (gap between pulleys) there's probably something in Haynes...

I haven't taken the belts off yet - I said "I have got the belts", meaning I have bought them. It's the procedure to remove & fit them I need!
Yes, and in my blog there are simple instructions to do the aircon belt. The power steering is similar.
