So why is it they make these pulleys with rubber in the middle of them.i got told by a pug garage that mine was not the half rubber pulley.it was only that some one said he will have a look for me that he found it as i did not have time to look my self, i was to busy doing wheel bearings on a old escort, much better to work on.

Chris, what are you on about?
Assuming you are talking about the crankshaft pulley which drives the aux belt, the rubber is to help damp out vibration. Those older type last for ever, not like the newer crap they fitted to the earlier HDi engines.
