Had a new alternator and belt (tensioner OK according to Volvo as not even 12 months old) and no problems since.

Good info. about the alternator.
There is a guard manufactured for the aux. belt.

£125 is a lot of money for something that looks like I made it in my shed but I guess if I'd had one fitted I'd be £3275 better off!
