That is a Gates belt‎ so I checked Gatesautocat.com and put your Turbo car in

It says you need a ‎6PK1153‎ ‎for your 1.7 turbo with power steering and without air con.

Looking at the eBay listing you posted, I'd be inclined to say that it isn't the right one as it mentions air con compressor for the 480 turbo application. ‎

I'd also say eBay is so easy to get the wrong part unless you can tie down to a part number for our old and rareish cars (like above)‎. With the correct part number from Gates, on eBay, this seems to be your cheapest option for a genuine Gates 6PK1153 ‎http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/311413410405

I've always found mister-auto.co.uk pretty good for getting the right parts as you can filter right down to model numbers and the part fitment details can include chassis number ‎notes and the like. 

(There are quicker people out there to deal with though!)‎
