June 2023 the EML lit up on my Wife's car and the car went into limp mode. Very fortunately she was only about 200 yards from Daughter's house (100 miles from ours) . When they phoned me, I asked Daughter and Wife to lift the bonnet and see if the FEAD belt had broken - yes it had!
They phoned RAC and stated the Front End Accessory Drive Belt had broken, and the call handler was impressed they knew what it was and they sent a photo. My Wife said it wasn't urgent, she had reached her destination. RAC patrol came the next day and apologised because he couldn't get a belt until 10:00am.(Sunday) He returned later and fitted the (stretchy) belt using the special ramped tool. Great work, we were impressed by the helpful guy. Handy that they did it, because I'd have had to buy or make a tool to do it, and it would have been more than the £20 cost of the belt.
