It is a lot easier with the radiator out, but you can replace the fan belt with it still in, it will feed in through the fan.

As to any damage, just keep an eye on the radiator level, if it stays full and the expansion bottle stays correct it is fine. If it keeps going down despite topping up the head gasket will need replacing and the head skimming due to the overheating.

Fingers crossed that you didn't go far enough to damage it.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

Seized alternator snapped the belt.
New alternator and new belt fitted, although the ordered belt didnt fit so they took the belt off the power steering pump and swapped them round....does that sound ok??
I need it for tomorrow anyway and it's fixed.
Hopefully there's no damage to the head and head gasket.
Thank you for all the quick replies, I'll let you know if it's ok in a few hundred miles.
