Abusot thank you for your reasurance. Hopefully all will be fine.
What I thought was the main pulley at an angle last night was in fact part of the belt bent into a semi-circle! The idler pulley disintigrated.
When I got the car the belt and idler/tensioner pulleys had 38K on them. After doing some research I had the belt changed. I told my Indy about the pulleys and he is good so I assume he checked them for roughness. I just re-checked Quasi's site and even though he says they will almost definitely need changing at 60K he changes then every 30K with the belt. Did I get unlucky or is idler pulley failure after 47K not unreasonable?
