If the belt goes do any lights illuminate? I've only thrown a belt once (on the 92 300D), but that was because the alternator went out so I'm guessing that account for the lights coming on.

Visually the belt looks to be in good shape.

But, you only have about 1 minute at 3000 rpm without the belt. Fortunately, you lose power steering if the belt goes............an immediate alarm!
