retension all your 'v' belts (ie water pump/alternator/clutch fan etc). if you think it's tight, then tighten it some more. use a lever of some kind to tension the belt (ie pull down on the alternator or whatever). 5.0cm of play is about right for a 'v' belt at full tension.
while the engine is running, put a candlestick against the belt on the contact side to condition it after all the slippage, otherwise you'll have a shorter belt lifespan. not that it'll do any damage, just saves having to replace a belt more often.
