Quick question for you guys. This may make me look completely inept and clueless but I need the help so I'm going to ask anyway....

I need to replace both the fan/alternator belt and the PAS belt but i'm struggling to find some sort of distinction between the two on sites like GSF parts, Euro Car Parts, ebay etc.. They all list different belts doing different things, some even list the alternator belt as the same thing as the PAS belt and I'm no mechanic.
:roll: I'm aware that any belt providing its the right size will do the job but I don't know the exact sizes so...

If anyone could let me know links for both those belts for an M40b16 engine or the actual belt sizes for both, that would be excellent.

Thanks all!

Belt sizes are 9.9 x 1013mm for the alternator, and 9.5 x 800mm for the steering.
