Thread: Fan Belt part numbers and alternates -

i can confirm that these are the same belts i needed for my 91/92 v8 disco

You do not have to remove the pulley, and you should be very sure that you tighten the bolts with a dab of Locktite on them, as it is pretty ugly if the pulley falls off.

They are all designed to fit without removing pulleys.

I usually take off the fan and shroud and then there is plenty of room to work and swing spanners.

same, i had no need to remove pulley, both alt and pwr steer are gap adjustable

actually i found this out the hard way that these belt numbers didnt fit my 91 d1 v8.

it is the ones a well known local LR dismantler/mechanic supplied me, but some where to big. they blame my engine, but repco had different part numbers on their database and their's fitted. (im not one to talk up or recommend repco, but i couldnt argue with the fact the belts fitted.)

Numbers / Belts im using as follows:

Dayco 10A0675C
Dayco 13A0990C
Dayco 13A0925
Gates 13A1000

(if you need to know which one goes where just ask)

the main differences was that the set that didnt fit the power steering and AC belts were too big.

I used to regularly replace belts in my 10/87 build RRC. Now I have a serpentine belt 3.9 engine from a Disco I and I have nowhere near the belt issues that I used to have.

The multi belt setup on the Rover V8 is one of the worst belt setups I have ever seen.

You do realise that the last digits are the length in MM.
and the first are the width.
so 10A 675 is 10MM wide ie narrow
and 675 is 675MM long.
And so on.
So you can calculate which length you need by just cutting an old belt and measuring how long it is. And no they do not stretch, they just wear in the V that makes them longer.

And the C is Cogged AFAIR.
