Is there any difference with the Alternator and the fan belt from a Defender and Discovery?

P.s is the larger belt of the two called a 'fan belt'? I ask this as mine doesnt have a fan

Cheers, Scott

Sorry dudes, meant to ask wether there was a difference between defender and disco belts!

Just wondered as iv got a disco 200tdi in my defender and me mate has got a defender 200tdi. Just wanting to know as when one goes 'out in the bush' can we use each others spares if needed?

the disco belt is shorter,you will have to modify the adjusting arm and move the alternator in a bit for it to fit but the bracket will catch slightly on the alternator fins..

i know this from experience as i had to do a swap on the plains a few nonths back me mate had a disco belt and mine is a defender..

i now keep 2 spare belts in me toolbox only cost me £4.99 each
