Hi guys,

I have a 97 300tdi disco. It's been going fine for a while but about a week ago I gave it a few too many revs whilst accelerating (I know...) and the auxiliary/serpentine belt shredded. I limped back home where it sat for a while before I got around to looking at it. The water pump pulley was wobbley and had sheared. I replaced the pump and pulley along with the belt and took it out when the belt came off again after about 5 miles. I think it's just a coincidence that i turned the heater on at the same time.

Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening?

No problem Priscilla, it's saved me too. Now just need to sort the airlock in my coolant system out. Oh the joys...
