What engine have you got?
Sounds like the belt may have been too short/tight?
Is the tensioner ok?

This is the engine used in the Scorpio and the older Jeep Cherokee, range rover, rovers etc

definitely not a Peugeot

Maybe someone has fitted a Peugeot engine to yours but they werent factory fitted, do you have a picture of it?

Heres the VM engine
