Rover belt will fit as long as you specify no power steering IIRC.

You will have to lie to them as the 'Frauds chimps will not have a clue.

Try rover 200 or Freelander 1.8 petrol that may get a hit. You should be able to get several if there is a choice and take them back if they are the wrong length.

i will go in past and see what they have, i have a rover 200 brm with the vvc engine i could go round and see if its same but it has power steering so doubt it.

i think the power steering is a red herring as the caterham dry sump pump lives where the power steering bit should be and it is driven from a different belt to the alternator.

So basically any k-series belt should fit
