It's not a fault. It's because the belt hasn't been tightened.

rocky, if its 1.2 8v as it says in your gallery mate, its really easy, did it on mine about a month ago, basically where the alternator is, there is one bolt holding it to a bracket attached to the side of the engine block. Undo the bolt at the top of the alternator, push the alternator as far back as possible (probably best to lever it back to get it as tight as you can), thrn do it as best as u can. Then try to move the belt, the middle of it between the two pulleys should move about 8 to 10mm from its rest position. Hope this helps you mate!

Oh and your car doesn't have a fan belt. It's the alternator belt...
