Where to buy a serpentine belt in Canada?

Hey guys, just wonder where is the best place online to buy a serpentine belt for my 2003 MCS? Just preventative maintenance. Most of the shipping charges to Canada are more than the belt itself. Thanks

Are you looking for a stock belt? You can get the stock one at a NAPA or Bumper to Bumper pretty easy. Gates K060415 is the one you'll be looking for on a stock SC pulley.
Other that that I found Rock Auto pretty cheap to buy from if you buy a few things at one time shipping isn't that bad.

Just go to your local autoparts store...belt should be about $20-25 max...
Commonly available.
Have a pulley? If so it will affect the size belt used.

If have a 15% reduction, the 60535 is about right, or a 17% should use a 60535...both will be very tight...
The stock non-jcw belt is 1388 mm long...pretty sure that makes it a 60547 length....

LOL it's not actually as easy as that in Canada, there are tons of parts on this car that I either had to buy from the dealer (at min 3X the US cost) or order online. Could not get a upper rad hose anywhere in Canada other than the dealer and they wanted $85.

Belts are pretty universal...
The 535 length belt is used on many fords....same for the 532...
Both stocked even in my small NH town...have family up noth...but still..many universal parts are just that...not special.some parts you will have to go to the dealer for...same in the US.

100% agree but unless you live here and have actually searched for parts you would be shocked. 1/2 the parts stores here don't stock and wont bring in parts for Mini's period there not in the system. Serious it's a deal.

But yes the belt fits multiple cars, that is why I posted a part number.
