Not a definitive practice though as hidden belt problems can exist- but it may just give the additional confidence- the 19th will soon come round and a Volvo belt or other descent make should be able to take the additional mileage.

Most likely a Volvo belt, and I have to hope there's a reasonable safety margin! Removing the cover might be a bit ambitious for me, at my time of life, but I'll see if I can persuade the garage to have a look on Monday, they might just fit it in between jobs. Thanks for suggestion.
