Take the belts off, grab the outer rim of the pulley and pull hard from one edge as if you are flipping the rim off, if there is any noticeable movement you need a new pulley. (I'd bet as much as half a Freddo that there will be and you do)

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Haha! That did make me laugh.

I'll go give that a try shortly and report back...I was about to ask how do I see if it is the wheel but you've explained that perfectly. The only annoying part is I just redid the radiator and put new fluid in it, so it seems that will need to be drained out again.

I suppose if the Crank isn't wobbly, then it must be the alternator being misaligned....if it still even works after it went for a swim that is.

I do believe I owe you half a Freddo,

Took the belts off, and put a slight amount of effort into wiggling the Crank wheel, it moved quite happily without much effort...so good news you found my problem!

I'll be buying a new one and throwing it in asap.

Thanks again
