General which timing belt on a FIRE 1108cc?
I was just yhinking that myself, as the 1108 has a longer stroke and taller block than the 999cc, so surely it needs a longer belt, unless the tensioner is positioned slightly differently allowing a little more 'slack'. I might go and investigate, as I have one of each.
it gets harder than that, my local motor factors listed 2 for the 1108, i went with the cheepest and that was the right one,

the other one was probably the 1108 4x4.
i got mine from a local motor factor which is closing down (thread is in LL). cost me £6 before the sale, so would be £4.80 now (20% off). its called Pringles, and is in north shields.

sorry, havent got that, but thought you might like to know who sells cheap belts (i could even buy it and send it to you).
Had a check today and both the 999cc and 1108cc one were the same length. I put a 999cc belt on the 1108 and it ran fine too, so it shouldn't be a problem.

??? loosten the tensioner which should get it slack enough to slide it off or am I putting my foot in it again 
No wait ... I am thinking that since i cut the alternator belt with a knife and removed the alternator I can infact just lift it off the wheels, there isn't anything trapping it in anymore... i thinkAlan.D said:??? loosten the tensioner which should get it slack enough to slide it off or am I putting my foot in it again
Not sure with a selecta, you could take the starter motor off and jam the flywheel gear with a big screwdriver, but mine came off easily enough with just the engine compression to stop it turning. Don't leave a socket or spanner on the bolts afterwards then start the engine like I did a while back, it makes one hell of a bang!!
The engine has no hoses connected nothing connecting the transmission... it will never turn over again. I just want the belt because the black panda was well maintained until someone drove 12" into the left side.totnesmonster said:
