Alternator belt came off while driving!!

I'll try and have a look tomorrow. I'm hoping it's just something as simple as needing a new bolt.
Whereabouts can you get the belt on its own? I can't find it on RPDs website.


Or any 6pk 1662 belt if you need one quickly from a motor factors.

Quick update.
Got the car back . New aux belt fitted and coolant topped up.
The top bolt in the alternator had completely come out and the bottom one had come loose. Very strange.
I'll be driving it tentatively for a while until I'm 100% confident everything was put back together as it should be. When i I had the alternator replaced last August they had routed the belt under a pulley instead of over it according to Andy at Birchdown.
Just one strange thing though now. I don't know if this is in my head or what but the steering feels a bit lighter o_O
