Peanuts - Free pint of Guinness next time you've over this way, thanks so much for all this info, you have the patience of a saint

Yes, I do have the later engine which uses the 14/15mm setup as opposed to allen keys

Power steering Belt - Volvo No. 973487
Car shop - 6375MC

Alternator Belt - Volvo No. 977542
Car shop - 6469MC

Primary Belt - Volvo No. 861564
Car shop - 7PK925

Compressor Belt - Volvo No.3581460
Car shop - 6PK1138

All of the above come up as Gates belts with a Google search

I'm getting slightly confused then...
Power steering - Gates OK
Alt belt - Gates OK
Primary belt - Comes up as 'Dayco' with a google search
Compressor - Gates OK

Am I missing something with the Primary belt or is it infact a 'Dayco' belt? http://camskill.co.uk/products.php?plid=m28b0s2593p14689

Replacement oil filters

Slight deviation but I came across this site warning about using non vp oil filters. Maybe someone else can make some sense of it as its too high tech for me. http://cameronmarina.forumotion.co.uk/buy-sell-swap-f6/boat-filters-reference-guide-t227.htm

Couple of points reference car replacement bits:
1) FRAM filters aren't as good as other aftermarket filters. If you get a choice, go for something of better quality. (I have an import 4 x 4 that uses special filters and the forums have pooh pooh'd FRAM)
2) Comparing aftermarket belts, the Volvo ones are certainly much thicker, specially the supercharger belt. Haven't compared Gates though.
