The crankshaft pulley has gone on my mum an dads car the only symptom was a slight knocking from the engine bay and when it failed they lost power steering heating and the battery charge light came on anyway i just got a quote from a citroen specialist (whos cheaper than the dealers) and hes quoted us £207.63 inc VAT to supply and fit all the parts hes changing the pulley and the crankshaft bolt and all the belts and i was just wondering how hard can it be to change it cause hes coming round to the house to fit it and i was thinking it cant be hard if hes doing it on the side of the road any ideas ??
thanks
Ayden

The only 'out of the ordinary' thing that is required is a 3/4 drive socket and a long bar, to undo the pulley bolt. I take it that the rubber damper between the inner and outer sections of the pulley has failed, the pulley is quite expensive, you could check with your local Citroen agent.

weve been told by the little garage at the end of our road that they are spring loaded and that the spring has failed

The spring they refer to will be the rubber inserted between the inner and outer metal parts.
