   Guys, I was just changing my belt, started to check to see where noise was coming from, and noticed my crank pulley going side to side! Removed belt, checked it, and I generally could pull the outer ring off! WTF!
   
   Any damage done do you think?
   
   And is it just a case of getting a new one from ebay?

   They're on ebay at £30-35 or go to your local motorfactors.

   Guys there is no way I can do any damage replacing this is there?
   
   I keep reading around people saying, it has adjusted the timing I have not moved the CAMbelt, I have only removed the AUX belt

   Hi Alex, Thats what I thought, due to it not being linked to the main belt itself.
   
   Its ok mate, I bought a alloy one, thanks anyway though
