Nope. When i fitted a new belt 18 months or so ago it was slightly too long and was towards end of tensioner anyway. No explanation on why it snapped though.

That's true. I brazed a snapped Calibra fuel sender pipe for a mate about 10 years ago, it's still going strong.
On the road:
1998 Disco 4.0 V8 (manual)
1994 Vauxhall Calibra 3.0 V6

Running but need fettling:

1986 Honda CBX750F
1991 Maserati 222 SE
1990 Yamaha XJ900F

Tax & MOT-exempt, woohoo!
