Are the numbers still showing on your old belt? All you need is the size and I am sure you can find one locally.

yeah i have the numbers (not to hand) and been to local shops but no dice. two have said they can order one and it will take a month or so, i'm guessing they will order from overseas and add there mark up on it so i might as well order it myself.

Belts are pretty standard. You can take the size number and usually suvbstitute for the next size up or down since they are only a fraction of an inch.

Even if you have no numbers to go off of, you can always take your old belt into a store where they should be able to measure it.

But someone on here should have a similar setup and may be able to provide the correct belt length. I'm assuming that Mondeo 2.0 Zetec's and JRSC BBK's are all interchangeable and identical to US spec. Someone correct me if i misspoke.

That should be K061044?

K is serpentine belt
06 is six rib
then the 1044 would be 104.4 inches

You should be able to find something close. 1/4inch +/- wont hurt anything usually.

Keep with the gates brand. (or some store brands are made for them by gates, like reibes) Gator backs suck, slip like crazy with the BBK
