Well, my crankshaft pulley is loose again - I was concerned that the crank was damaged last time and it appears that it was
So, the crank is even more buggered this time and rather than waste any more time on it, the car has to go.
Anyone want a __very__ cheap Xantia 1.9TD to break in Cheltenham otherwise off to the scrappy.
Cheers and thanks for all of your great help - not sure if I'll be back as I have no idea of what car to buy next.

Rather than scrap it... why not put it on ebay for £1 start and no reserve.
you can guarantee someone will want it, they will have to come and take it away, and you may make a few tenners into the bargain.
Just wondering... I had a crankshaft pulley come loose on my 1.9TD engine, and I re-fitted it with threadlock compound, to the silly torque that it needs... and it's been fine since.
Have you tried this?

This is not a signature.
I guess the problem is space. We already have two cars on the drive and another out the front would be a nightmare.fastandfurryous wrote:Rather than scrap it... why not put it on ebay for £1 start and no reserve.

When I replaced the pulley I did exactly as you suggested and it was OK for a whole 3 weeks! The woodruf key slot in the crank is already out of shape and I guess that the slightest problem at these revs would soon take it's toll.
The rear of the pulley is nearly gone - disintegrated.
I think I'd prefer the local scrappy to collect it and give me some beer money with which to drown my sorrows

So what are you going to do with your Xantia?
