Hi guys, got a problem with metallic clanging from cambelt side. Whole
cambelt set (together with rolles) has been replaced about 2500 km
ago, any ideas what it might be?

Probably the crankshaft pulley

My crankshaft pulley went a few weeks ago. It is rubber bonded and the two
parts start to separate and make a clattery clangy noise. My mechanic
found mine when doing the service and MOT so he fixed it then. New one
from Pug is around £120 but he got it from GSF for £90. Fitting was an hour
(or thereabouts).

More than likely the bottom pulley - I'm now om my third - the last
one was changed last week under warranty as it had been replaced less
than a year ago

I wonder how much this cost to be done as I think my noise may be caused
by the bottom pulley!!!!

The pulley is about £90 from GSF parts (£120 from Pug). I cannot say how
much to fit because mine was done with other work but I don't think it is
that major a job. My mechanic reckoned that if you (carefully) peered down
with a torch when the engine was running you could see bits flying off.
