Spot on Peter. Unfortunately they say its a discontinued part .... my quest continues

Hope this helps?

ERR3442P - Aftermarket

Rimmer Bros says it is in stock unlike the OEM which is NLA!

However it could be this one.

ERC5462 - Genuine Rover part for all 3.5/3.9 engines until 1992

But it's nearly 10x the price!!

Thanks yknot,




It's not the first one, the shaft is to short compared to photo I have of mine, unfortunately they don't show a pic of your second link, I'll call them tomorrow.

The rest of the engine is RR Classic 3.9 so I suspect the crankshaft pulley is too - I've seen different parts listed for SD1/3.5 etc.

I've found a picture of the RR classic which is part No ERC5462 which is the second link in Yknots post.
Again the shaft is to short, looks as if it's for the Serpentine engine.

Classic and Serpentine are two completely different variants so if it's for a Serpentine engine then obviously it's not the Classic part.

The shorter one is the classic pulley, the SD1 has the longer shaft and appears to be no longer available.
I thought maybe it was from the Serp engine as the need for the rear pulley would be removed and therefore the shaft would be shorter ..... I need to do more homework before I post

Any one got a spare one buried in there treasure Chest

as far as I can tell (fun rover v8s aren't they)

ERC5462 is for a 90/110 or 3.5 rangerover
ERC3442 is for a 3.9 disco1 or rangerover

3442 is possibly the right bit for a v8s maybe? I'm not sure how much of the front end is from where, it's clearly not *all* normal 3.9 stuff as it's missing things like power steering and aircon so it's only got a single v pulley on it.

Might be a route to one. Only 7-hours left.

Quite local to me so happy to collect remove damper and see. Worse case re-sell on ebay.

May be worth you asking over on the Chim forum?

[DJR 7]

Rimmer Brothers are saying it should be the ERC420, Of which they have no stock.
They do however have a couple of second hand ones, i am awaiting pics for comparison.

Bit of luck
Rrimmers will sort you out but failing that I'd try asking on the Chimaera Forum, lot more V8's over there

[GreenV8S]

You do need to watch out that the Chimaera bunch will be using intermediate serpentine front ends as well as the classic.

Not sure this this will be of any help..
Some time ago, an engine builder friend showed me a product, that was to refurb worn seal areas on such as crank pulleys.
In effect all it was was a thin sleeve that was heated then fitted to a machined down pulley as a friction fit, to recreate the original size. These sleeves were available in many sizes & lengths to suit various pulley diameters.
Sorry, but I don't remember, or have any more info than that.
Hope it helps.
