    Hi there,

    I'm trying to fit a new auxiliary drivebelt to my '97 306 D Turbo (no
    air con) and am having terrible trouble getting the belt on. The car
    has a manually adjusted tensioning pulley. The Haynes manual says to
    fit the belt in this order: PAS, Crankshaft, Alternator then
    tensioning pulley. Even with the tensioner set to the maximum I can't
    get the belt on. The new belt (geniune Peugeot) is 2 cm shorter than
    the old one but I assume this is because the old one has stretched.

    Can anybody offer advice as to how to get the belt on?

    Many thanks,
    Kris
