Hello,
I'm French. I need to change the belts on my Elan.
Can you confirm the part number for the Gates 4PK698 alternator belt and the Dayco 6K946 power steering belt?
Sorry for my English.
Thank you for your replies.

Yes PHIL70 I can confirm, Gates 4PK698 alternator belt and Dayco 6PK946 p/steering belts fitted my '90 SE a year ago.
I'm quite certain that my alternator is original but I gather some after-market alternator pulleys can be a larger diameter, tho'

i dont know what size belts they are, but i know its mentioned either in the wiki, or in some topic around that the alternator belt can be swapped with a sligtly larger one, which not only fit the isuzu alternators from rockauto. but also, in the Elan alternators, it shift them a few mm away from the engine, which makes a huge difference in access to a spanner when you are tensioning.
i definitly recomend getting the larger belt.

The ony thing to add is that IF you have Air Conditioning, you will need a longer PAS belt to go over the extra pulley, but for most cars, your part numbers are correct.

Just the one now, but this one's mine! - and it will be finished eventually..... - but also temporary custodian of a project until it is finished enough for Angie to drive it
...oh, and a 2006 Freelander destined for the jungles of The Gambia - 4500 miles across roads, desert and tracks - what could possibly go wrong?
