Any one got any ideas why my S3 keep's wearing out fan belts. They last about 2K miles, they just seem to wear away.

two most likely causes, are out of line pulleys, and wrong belt tension.
remember to check the new belt tension again, after 50/100 miles or so.

How about increased loading on the belt?
Ie. The 2Kw stereo you may have fitted or the rally spot lights?
or doggy water pump or fan.
Its not easy to check the loading on the alternator / dynamo without a ameter

No radio

No spotlights

No fan at all

Water pump seems ok.

I think it could be down to slow speed of rotation
