Is there a pattern part version of the power steering belt available. ADL only had the timing belt in their books when I asked a couple of weeks ago and suggested that I bring the others in to match them up. By nasty coincidence it snapped today and is lying in bits somewhere on my way home. I didn't notice until I slowed down, and then by God did I notice, so that option is out. Ace Answers only has the genuine part numbers as far as I could tell. Model is late '92 new shape Royal Lounge (at least it has the 'wrap around' rear windows which I guess makes it late shape) with 2 litre diesel engine with twin alternator belts.

I don't suppose there is much difference in price but the local ADL is a lot closer and when you need the strength of the Hulk to turn a corner then these things matter.

Any motor factor can help. I can't confirm that these facelift cars use the same belts as earler models, so your best is to run a tape around the two pulleys and measure the circumference. That number, and the number of "Vees" are how the belts are referred to in the aftermarket.
But If I remember correctly the earlier townie used the same size belt as a UK- model Liteace of the same era as yours...
