Try eurocar parts they also sponsor the forum you may get discount if you type in a code, not sure what the code is but im sure ppl will point you in the right direction. If not try gsf (german,swedish and french).

you need a v belt. 11.5 or 11.9 mm wide and 685mm long.... v-ribbed belt as it says is ribbed which is for the alternator and water pump.

you need e.g.
