It's a shame the insurance company wrote the car off, was it badly damaged or just cosmetic? Has it been well looked after, with a decent service history?
I bought a Meyle p/strg belt (10 x 730mm) for my 1.8 8v PB engine. Perfect fit. Did you make sure the adjuster and pivot bolts were free, as mine was all seized up?
The car's I've owned since buying my first car in 1981
