Hello Matthew,
First of all my deepest condolences. Despite the fear associated with this, it's still very rare.
You might have read that, when I changed them, my original belts were 19 years old and had covered 90,000 miles. I was surprised to find that they displayed virtually no wear and tear however, the tensioner and idler pulleys were in need of replacement.
I'd be interested to know the mileage of your car because if it has suffered pulley bearing failure (leading to belt detachment), that information will be a very useful guide to other KV6 owners.
Once again, I'm very sorry to hear of your predicament. Hopefully the damage can be repaired.
Simon
