right decided to just back the car out the unit so i could have a tidy up it started running like a bag of shit and then cut out on me. tried for ages to start it checked all my ecu conections then started having a poke round the engine and found this.
dont know if its down to me not tightening it up or what. also destrtoyed the key on the bottom pulley. ripped the crank sensor off its bracket as well. you can see in the pic where the lug should of been for the outer pulley

Aw i thought the pic of the pulley was the bottom pulley of the timing belt set up. Was going to say if it came off it would be bad news.
