Default Power steering belt

Whilst cleaning under the bonnet today, I noticed that my power steering belt has started to sheer. Obviously this needs replacing ASAP along with the auxiliary belt behind it which looks worse for wear too. My question is if it breaks will it cause any other issues? And should I replace anything else while I'm getting them done? Thanks, Paul.

doesn't cause any other issues per se BUT it drives both your alternator and power steering so these will fail with obvious results with no belt to drive them

Thanks, I was just worried about any knock on effects with the timing belt more than anything. I'll get it booked in somewhere in the morning.

Just had a look and I reckon I could change these easy enough myself in the morning. So any idea where would stock them off the shelf? I think my nearest stealer is nearly an hour away.

Flew round to my local autoparts store today and changed both belts this morning. Good job I did.
