put a jack on the sump with a block of wood on the jack, undo the 2 bolts on the left hand side of the mount, by the rubber, drop the jack down a bit and you should be able to get belt off then

I'm pretty sure by looking at it Combat corsa that the belts routed through the engine mounting.

Yup you have to drop the mount. Its an arse of a job tbh. Got rid of the a/c on mine coz the compressor was shagged and changed the belt at the same time
