I replaced the Aux belt on our Disco 1 300TDi around 300 miles ago, and today I noticed that it looked like it was starting to break down! It looks like an F1 tyre after a good lap!! almost looks like it's de-laminating on the smooth edge and feels slightly sticky to the touch.

She seems to be charging OK, and the power steering seems fine, so I am sure there is nothing binding on the belt.

Could it be that it's just a cheap belt that can't handle it?

Any help or advice would be great

If it's one of those multi groove flat belts, I have just found to my cost that cheap ones do not last, the new belt has started to break up on my Transit after less than 5K miles. Had to put the original back on
