last nitgh on my way down to the garage to get the thing seen to.

It was about 5:00 and rush hour was in full swing. I was sat at traffic lights and ...Mmmm funnny burning smell.. oops. Wondered if it was overheating so though I'd turn the ignitiion off let it cool for a minute or so whilst it sat at the lights.
Green light - Oh no won't start.

You can imagine how popular I was sat with my hazards flashing on at the lights in rush hour going absolutely nowhere... got the usual helpfull comments from white van drivers of "Ha ha ha ha w&nker"
I just ran away in fact, went to buy some fags and sat and watched traffic chaos whilst the chap from the garage came with the trailer.

My point - anyone else had this happen and if so is there a way I can get a replacement belt on on the road ?
