Auxiliary Belt has snapped and been sucked into the cam belt.
Just putting a new cam belt kit on to see if engine is ok .
Cant see that it possibly can be , but you have to have a bit of luck one day or another.
She was just pulling away at the single alternate lane road works to the North of Newbury when it went , so stopped the whole road
Y2 will understand how much hassle this caused at peak time !
Hopoefully low revs etc she may be lucky , but ........ just got to sit it out now.
Need to have a look through the paperwork to see when they were last changed.
Fitted new belts and tensioner on my V70 last year.

Fingers crossed here for you.
.Perhaps I exaggerate a little, although I had been booting it down the bypass.
There were no noises or anything, so it could have been on the overrun as I slowed for the roundabout, or as I pulled onto the roundabout behind a truck (so very slowly). I rolled onto the roundabout using momentum, it was only when I went to put the power back on that I realised there was a problem.

Once you get started I could well be interested in the steering rack and PAS pump (presuming yours are OK). We will just have to check the racks are the same, as Volvo fitted 4 different types!
They were behaving just fine, so I think they're alright. I'll set them aside and we can check the part no's. Busa mav said:

Belt pulley missing and a bit of damage but all is a right royal result.
Missing bits ordered and will be fixed tomorrow.
All the good wishes from you guys worked.
Y2 , it was the road out of the south of Newbury where it broke down ,( not north )
Either North or South it would have been havoc, I guess it was on the A343 or worse the A34? Belt pulley missing and a bit of damage but all is a right royal result.

Thought you sold cars for a living, you tell us what's fair.
Not any more mate, decided to part ways after only a short time. It all worked out in the end though, speaking to a variety of people all day whilst I put on a Ugandan accent and pretend to be from British Gas (New job will be based at Selhurst in London. Let's see if you can work it out big boy *kiss*)
