It's your auxillary belt that's gone. Don't drive it lke this though, you'll cook it, aswell as having biceps like Arnie!  ;) ;)

It is one of the easiest jobs to do on an omega. get yourself a Haynes manual it explains most things.

Easy enough to change, though you may need to strip out part of the intake (can be done without, but fiddly).

As said above, check tensioner condition

when you refit it make sure with engine running that none of the pulleys are shaking especially the crank pulley
