'kin hell! I thought they were meant to last 20000 miles!
I also thought if it broke that early, you'd have a lot more luck getting a replacement one under warranty on the grounds that it must be a manufacturing flaw (there's less wriggle room for them than for chains as belts are supposed to be maintenance free). You wouldn't expect a company to not replace the brake discs if they wore out in under 1000 miles solely on the grounds that they were "consumables".
Why the hell are the belts so expensive? Can you get 3rd party parts for it?
