If nothing else, you absolutely MUST MUST MUST replace the aux belt every 56k or less, else if it snaps you'll need a replacement engine.
So unless you have a receipt that it has just been done, go out and get that done right now, before you drive it any further. I would also change the aircon belt at the same time as it doesn't cost much more.
Every time you replace the aux belt check that the alternator pulley is not seized as that will prematurely wear the belt

Belts are done, and cambelt but no water pump.
Good tip.
What takes out the belt, Age or tensioners?
