Remember, the OP reports this as an intermittent fault. (For the record, I think your advice is still good and the OP should considering doing it anyway)

The fault/solution will be whatever it will be and whilst it's great to know what's possible, it's surely better to begin with what's probable and easily doable.
Repeating the tests when the fault is present would be better still.
I don't have a problem with anyone swapping parts without testing but there's no need for a thread on it. Just let us know when you hit the jackpot.

It also doesn't help that the issue and what's been done so far is spread over 2 differently titled threads.

Edit: Everything is probably moot now.

Yup, that sucks. Commiserations to the OP.

Finally got round to.having a look into why the aux drive belt shredded ..
The crankshaft pulley has separated . All the new pulleys and belts (except the aux drive) are all fine so it wasn't down to one of them failing . The crankshaft pulley separated therefore opening up the gap and allowing the shredded bits to get into and wrap around the crankshaft gear for the timing belt
