(Home) Drive belts

Could anyone please tell me the sizes of the three drive belts (my townace has two 'v' belts and one 'ribbed' belt. I am sure I see someone had listed the sizes on ace answers ages ago, but I've just been looking and can't find them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Clive for the info. I'll try and get the sizes from these numbers. We do a wide range of belts where I work, so I am hoping to match them with those, or get them ordered from work. I didn't really want to take the belts off first because I use it for work.

Cheers

Hello. I have recently bought a Toyota Spacedcruiser (G plate) and the fan belt broke.
I was wondering if anyone knew an easy way to replace one and if possible tell me the part number of the belt i need.
The spacecruiser I have is G plate(1990) F model, petrol.
I would be eternally grateful for any information forth coming.
Yours hopingly shaun

You can fit the belt without removing anything!
The adjusting idler pulley bolt needs to be loosened, then the adjuster bolt, thread the new belt in over the fan blades and onto the pulleys, adjust for tension and then lock it with the pulley bolt.
A good dose of releaasing fluid first may help with the bolts.
May be part no 99365-80820, I have that in pencil in my manual so I think it refers to Spacecruiser 3Y engine?

Just done all three drive belts today! Didn't manage to get the sizes so had to take them off first and match them up at our local motor factors. The belts I used are:

QHL GBR3788 A/C £5.50
QHL GBB975 WP/ALT £4.20
QHL GBB850 P.ST £4.00

The two 'V' belts may have been just a tad too wide? But they are running smooth and noisless at the moment. The ones I took off have been occasionally noisy since I've had it - not screeching belt slip, every other noise possible; creaking, chafing, groaning even quite a loud knocking/rattling sort of noise but every time I've checked the noise out, a tiny drop of dipstick oil on one of the belts has stopped it dead!

These belts I've used were quite tight getting them on, so a next size up would be ok for any of them (I had to turn the engine over with a socket/ratchet whilst guiding them over the pulley). If they are slightly too wide, then that also would have made them tighter to get on. The PS belt was tight enough without the need for any adjustment; which was better for me because the adjuster bracket/slide was missing on the PS Pump.

I'd half read someone's comments before about not being able to get a belt off because a pulley or something was in the way. I can remember thinking something like 'Bet you weren't bending it in the right place or something' and didn't bother following it up to see what responses there might have been. Well, humble apologies to whoever you were! I had the same problem and I didn't even try to yank or bend it out because I could see there was no way the A/C belt was coming off past the water pump pulley. Problem was quite easily overcome by removing 4 nuts and the WP pulley (I'd already got the fan blade off).
