Hi there, it's been a while but haven't had much to report on the old girl (240 GL Estate 1984 B23E) but have recently been plagued by alternator belt squeal at take off and low rpms. I grabbed a couple of Contitech belts from a local supplier quite a while back and didn't get around to putting them on, partly because they only had 11 x 925 rather than the 10 x 925 standard. The extra 1mm doesn't sound a lot but I'm guessing it will sit higher in the v-groove etc, any thoughts on whether it's a good idea would be appreciated (and any thoughts on where to grab a matched pair - these aren't - of the correct dimension locally also would be great)....(actually just checked under the bonnet and the current ones are genuine Volvo 9.5 x 925 PN: 966908) go figure!
