Kevin Huntley Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Yeah, seen a few go with age, mainly on the Turbo models. Best bet is to get a second hand one from a scrap yard. From memory the new ones are a couple of hundred pounds. You could fit an aftermarket version but its not really worth it unless you are running big power. Hope that helps Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supRo Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 There was a thread recently - It's a wear and tear item that you need to keep an eye on if it' getting on a bit - You are lucky that it hasn't damaged anything else! Go for stock replacement. You must be looking at the wrong thing - Stock crank pulley is just over £200 I think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
