Is there anything, other than bad luck, which might be leading to such premature failure.
Many thanks,

there must be a problem this is far from normal. has the alternator pulley one way clutch seized? It should slip when you turn it in one direction and should drive in the opposite direction.. if it is seized there can be severe vibrations straining the belt.. The Aux belt change interval is 54000 miles or 10 years which ever comes first..
