The belt snapped pulling away from some lights, power steering immediately went and a red battery icon appeared between the two clocks.
I was by the Bell Green Sainsbury at the time, so thought I'd try to make it home, "over heating, stop at once" appeared by Forest Hill station, so I did.
AA man turned up, tried to fix it with (I shit you not) a big zip-tie, when that failed he towed me up the hill to home.
The car is now parked outside, the dead belt is in the boot, and it's being trucked to DDR tomorrow morning - I'd very much like to know why the belt snapped.
