first, and it nackereds the fan belt at the same time.so i got to
replace the chrankshaft pulley first at the same time fan belt.

It's a common fault on early HDI 406 engines (don't know about the petrol
version). Mine went and was a job that my repairer was familiar with as he
has a number of customers with 406s. As you say, something I have never
heard of on the 405 although I recognised the symptoms as soon as Chris
described them.

Of course, with over a quarter of a million miles on the clock, Chris's has
lasted a long time and it is probable that most 405s are consigned to the
big car park in the sky long before the pulley would go.

The ones on the early HDI engines were different. I have already replaced
the one on my wife's 306 HDI.

Depends which way you are driving, but going from W. Byfleet, through Old
Woking it is on the right.
