Fan belt (auxillary drive belt?) just broken. Any quick ideas to fix it to get it home. About half a mile away but steering is affected and 5 corners to turn. Granada Scorpio Estate 1998 Automatic.
Many thanks

If the engine is hot I would let it go cold first before driving it.
The belt also drives the water pump so if engine is already hot no water circulating may cook it.
