Bouncing off the rev limiter can make belts jump off easily enough. Not saying you did but its quite likely?

Ever seen a drive belt on a tensioner at full tilt as it touches the limiter? This & a tired belt could easily break one.


You'll probably find its a standard belt size the same as something very mundane, I'm surpsrised the recovery people could'nt have sourced one?

Hi, fwiw double check the alternator pulley and the nut,or bolts.Also the tentioner.
The tentioner has to be set,maybe if the tention was incorrect the belt can get a bit of whip in it, and as above could have jumped off the pulley...............................................
maybe

An over tight belt is also a way to make premature failure...
