Changing belts

thundercat · 6th July 2014, 09:22

My 2003 Club SE Diesel has now covered 113000 miles, after putting a question on here as to how often should these be changed, the answer seems to be at 90000 miles. So, is there a link I could have a looksee at to see how difficult doing this myself would be.

I do a handy kit with both the auxiliary belt and the often ignored A/C drive belt - or of course just the auxiliary belt on its own if you'd prefer.
I usually go by visual inspection on the CDTi belts - most CDTi models I've bought have needed a change as they're all fairly high mileage.

Here's the belts:
