is my crank pulley bad?

The part closest to the engine (large diameter part) is the bending damper, which is seperate from the hub (attached to the crankshaft) and the torsional damper (the bit that the belt runs on). Classic failure is for the torsional damper to come away from the hub, which as mentioned above is what looks like yours has done.

I appreciate the advice but this isn't a case of me neglecting the car or trying to save cash, if it is broken I want to get it sorted. :) The car was (and still is) behaving normally other than a slight wobble which I hadn't noticed until the cover/under tray was removed while doing other work.

 

I understand fella :) Sorry if i came across wrong. But it does need some attention thats all :)

 

Good luck with it.

Just a quick update to let you know how things turned out. The crank is fine, looks like it is just a simple case of a deformed pulley but the garage had a hell of a time getting the bolt off and ended up using something called a "Mini-Ductor II" to get it off after the usual breaker bar and cranking the engine over tricks failed.
