so this bolt here I believe.. What is the chances of finding a replacement bolt for my missing bolt..... When I bought the car it came with the replacement belt how can I be sure its the correct belt?

Nah, bottom right of your picture.

You can't be sure about the belt, except by taking the old one off and trying it.

The other bolt you can get from a wreckers off a MK3.

Okay got it.... just cleaned up around the bolt to see what I am doing I have noticed some of the teeth have been chewed up......Half the bolt is still good. I have tried to adjust with the good teeth but didnt budge. I dont want to destroy anymore of the teeth

Use a file to clean up any burred corners
Try an impact socket (they are the black ones)
They only have 6 six sides and hug the head very tightly

Otherwise you're in a spot of bother for sure

When you get the belt off, compare it's size to the replacement

After abit of research I think I have to undo the belt tensioner so there is more play in this other belt. I dont think I should have to apply that much force make it move. I really have no idea..... someone must have done this before surely

That red arrow is in the wrong place

The bright silver two part bolt at the bottom right is what you need to focus on
