Nothing in the world is open in Easter SUnday other than small shops. It's the only day other than Christmas day that everything shuts.

thanks for all the replies guys, i was up until 4 trying to find a place that does them, halfords online said there wasn't any belts for my model but checked up a car which uses the same belt and found it, going to get 2 and keep the other for a rainy day like today or christmas  they are only £9.11 each instead of the £18 euro car parts wanted.
thanks everyone!
Chris
