Broken Freelander.

Hello folkes,
any help would be much appreciated. On my way home from work last night, just coming off the motorway when I heard a funny noise coming from underneath the front drivers side. Just like I had picked up a piece of wire. The red batterylight came on and my temperature gauge began to sore. I put the heater on straight away to get rid of the temperature and slowed right down. I then noticed my power steering had gone. When I got home after a slow drive I picked out some broken cable/s from under the front drivers side engine compartment. Have the auxillery belts broken? Do you think I have caused any damage? My local friendly garage have said they will check it out for me on Monday. Will it be costly?
Thanks

It sounds like you already know the answer!

Buy a new belt , fit it . Take it for a spin , then decide weather to take it to the mechanic .

New belt around £15 diy, not a dificult job, Unlikley to have done any harm.

Thanks for your help. Garage replaced both belts. Not a bad price. Landy back on the Road with everything working. Happy days.
Cheers

Not a bad job changing the drive and air con belts on the TD4, the worst part is removing the sump guard as the bolts can seize. The drive belt tensioner is a great idea (as long as you're reasonably strong and have a shallow cranked combi spanner) and the air con belt is a doddle.

No need to remove the sump guard, plenty of access from the front wheel liner.

Found it easier with the guard off and the Haynes manual advises the guard removal, but if you can do it without that's the way to go.
