Roughly 7% per year :o

Wish my savings had kept pace. Might just have got a pizza delivered on the interest.

Mine self destructed - I was lucky, very little damage other than a melted tensioner pulley and a shredded aux belt and a lot of smoke together with the acrid smell of burning rubber.  Plus lots of light flashing from other drivers (as if I hadn't noticed the smell and smoke!!)  Took me ages to get all the bits of belt removed!!
I got lucky too in that my aux belt shredded just as I pulled in, particularly as I had checked under the bonnet to try and work out what the burning rubber smell was  ;D.

Mine lasted about a mile from the first 'now thats an odd noise' to a thump , alternator light and rapid overheating.

Belt was off, although still in (just about) 1 piece but the tensioner pulley was in pieces.
