Out of interest if I did want to get a replacement gear or Woodruff key, are there any sources for them other than to rob them from an existing engine? And would all engines be different or could I rob it from a V6 or diesel too??
Thanks
That would be the wobbly crank pulley County Cars spotted likely.
Looks like the crank & keyway is good so just the crank toothed pulley then maybe an oil seal and belt kit?
Your man will know.
Bongo Spares or a breakers may have. I would think they are specific to the 2.0ltr.
Give the dealer a poke and see what you can get out of him possibly not a lot.
Anyhow at the end of the day you have your van fixed.
Mike, Diesel signal pick up is from the pump gear if that is what you meant?
if I get it down there... though it would cost me £600 odd to get it down there + train fares for me to get back there to pick it up after the repair + it has already had £200-300 worth of repairs/investigations done on it so pretty much the same overall cost to just pay the guy who already has it. There's some blurb in the consumer law about getting it repaired elsewhere if it would be too inconvenient to have the dealer do the repair which I guess applies here, since they're almost 200 miles away.
