im not sure on the route for your aux drive belt, but is the engine still running normaly, as it hes been know quite offten for this belt when let loose to worm its way into the cam belt cover, and cause the cam belt to jump some teeth,
i would be enclined to whip of the cam belt covers just to make sure there aint any remnants of the aux belt in there,

tbh theres alot of jobs that need doing on the car as its been poorly maintained by the previous owner including the removal of the diesel pump and refurbing as its leaking........new cam belt and waterpump n tensioners and new aux belt and tensioner and many other jobs that will be getting tackled over the next few months.is there a certian way the belt goes in direction like a tyre? or dont it matter.

the usual direction the fit any belt is with the makers name and ref No.'s the right way up whilst viewing from the cam belt end of the engine,

the car ran n still runs fine but its undrivable at the min due to the belt missing but i bought a belt today and i have to remove the old tensioner as there is 2 types for my car....... one at 42 quid n one a 87 quid 
knowing my luck it will be the most expensive one.
