bad news either way.
I was thinking that mate, BUT, the car has been driven everyday for the last 6 months including bringing it from wales to glasgow, yet within less than a week with a new belt fitted the bolt snaps. im no mechanic, but to me something wasnt checked properly as the new belt is shredded on one side, and it started squealing slightly the day before.
Looks like more money will have to be spent getting this fixed if the garage say it wasnt their fault.

Suppose it's quite luck it happened where it did, it must have been just ready to go the last time you were out in it.
