Go in Halfords with your 1.2 belt and just get a longer one. Cant remember what mine was off, think it may have been a 1980s VW or something like that.

try a local Bearing/engineering supplies place (yellow pages). they will have loads of off the shelf vee belts to measure up with.

Would it not just be an early type xe belt? are you running original pulleys?

[MARTIN KELSON]

It should just be a bog standard XE alternator belt.

Just go to Halfrauds & look on their list for Astra / Calibra 2.0 16v.

The bottom pulley aint moved & unless you have modified the alternator brackets etc the alternator is in the origonal place Vauxhall intended it to be, then a std XE belt is what your after.
