    A replacement belt will cost you about £12-£15 online.

    They vary quite a lot in ease of fitting.

    I guess it depends on how hands on you are?

    I know when I picked up my belt from the shop I was told for every 50 they sell 30 come back because they need quite a stretch to fit.

    Hope this helps

    I've just replaced the belt on our tumble dryer. It cost £6.85 and about 15 minutes. A bargin or what??????
    My £2 savings total for 2007 = £92, for 2008 = £124
    My savings from money off coupons for 2007 = £67.97, for 2008 = £194.79
    My £2 savings for 2009 (so far) = £130
         My savings from money off coupons for 2009 = £593.08
