so time to have a look at the bottom pully why it would not run the car
i first put the standerd one to a set mark then put the after market one back on and you could see the problem strate away the ring gear was out so i re drilled it and got it into the right place it did help but was still not right you can see in this photo how much i had to move it

so a second look at it and wot i found was the lugs were 5.5mm thick and on a standerd one the 4mm give and take .1mm so i removed some metal off the one side only and re fitted it well im glad to say it sorted it and it can run with the after market one for the time been
