Some would say it's tough luck on breaking down, others would say how fortunate you were in having such great support.

Glad it worked out well for you Chris & well done on the rest of the gang giving you so much help.

Mine was off the road for three weeks when exactly the same thing happened. It involved two flatbed trucks and extended downtime due to a bank holiday and waiting for parts. So it shows how great the support out there was. Make sure you get the modified bolt fitted if you don't have it already Chris.
The one in the photo (B) is pre mod.

This problem having now been experienced by Grockle and Chris 99 shows that these parts have a lower than required mechanical strength and even if the bolt had come loose the anti rotation features in the pulley should not have broken out

These faults and the appearance of the new items (including the camshaft pulleys) would indicate that they have been produced by a powdered matallurgy process such as sintering.

Given the small diameter of the anti rotation features in the crankshaft pulley, and the resulting high loads at this point, these pulleys (if not also the camshaft pulleys) should really have been machined from solid steel and not sintered.
