hi just replaced mine, espares.com. 9 rigged band, check lenght 1860cm and 7 or 9 ridges. you need to remove screws from outside rear and lift lid of pull towards back hard. remove on side panel and this will enable you to remove drum and insert new belt - give it a real good stretch - stand on it and pull upwards several times - when on drum use a copper pipe to stretch over motor. My dryer then had problems with drum. needed also to change the bearing support bracket and drum shaft kit. (sounds hard) easy peasey - total cost £26 and several hours swearing at the dryer.
