The only advice I can give you is to stop driving it immediately. We don't have that car here in the US so I can't give you ay specifics on it but you need to determine what other components are run off that same belt that will be effected bu losing that belt. If it operates things like power steering, water pump or alternator, you can't drive witout repairing it.
