Yes thanks Dan, I just called Matt and he did!
I've never tightened a belt before, I have a metal bar to wide to get in the gap where the shaft is so I tried to prize it against the water pump sheeth but couldn't budge it. Does the PS move straight across horizontal or diagonally?
Any tips to freeing it up?
Thanks

Squealing and starting to smell a little but from what I can see it's just the belt slipping and the alt belt must have been helping it out! Hopefully it won't damage it for me to use for 10 miles?
