I have just finished replacing the serpentine belt on the new car after finding 2 15mm sections of the ribbing missing and numerous cracks over its length. I would normally get parts from the UK but as the condition was dire I got several part numbers and tried locally. Supercheap came up trumps after a while getting the 10 year old serving finally to agreed I new best with the part number. Ordered on Monday, ready to collect Tues.
Part number was 7PK2325. The one supplied was Gates brand with an additional number on the box K070916. A perfect fit at $43.

There are a couple of part numbers depending on whether the LH idler pulley is 70mm or 80mm (later version) in diameter. The 80mm pulley requires a slightly longer belt...

I agree 100% there are two belts listed by Land Rover. I spent ages looking for the correct cross reference and part numbers by application list. The part number I gave seems to cover all options, All I can say is it fitted no problem on my Thor Car. If you think about the difference of 10 mm on one pulley, the tensioner would easily compensate for a few mm.

Looking at the old belt the Number on it is 7pk2342. Side by side they seem identical but it could be 2342 and 2325 are the length in MM. 7 being the amount of ribs. Nothing to say the 2342 belt was 100% correct as the brand is 4x4 spares. The tensioner can easily compensate for the 17mm if thats the case

Just as an update, Karcraft have a listing for PQS101630 which is a 2325mm belt. I agree, 10mm in a 2325mm belt is "in the noise" as they say...
The Karcraft price is a shade under $32 but once you add postage, there's nothing in it with the SCA price. Good find! Gates stuff is pretty reliable.
