Phil do you mean the crank pulley?

If so then yes it's been noted before

Yes mate, the toothed cam belt pulley that fits onto the end of the crank behind the main pulley and vibration damper.

that's the one.
I could make a similar picture only with me the ridge is missing....

Nice! We could start a new gallery of shagged crank pulleys!!

My mate was doing his cambelt and changing his exhaust cam for a 7A on the weekend, and found his cam wheel key was snapped, probably for a long time, he was very lucky basically driving a blown engine. I am beginning to think that cam pulleys are going to become cambelt service items like the crank one, from now on

Yep, mine was snapped too, I had that done 3 weeks ago!!

The cambelt crank pulley is weak. It's rather strange it hasn't been discussed here more. I recommend you to always replace it when doing a cambelt job.
It's also essential to use proper damper locking tools to avoid the pulley getting damaged when tightening the big crank bolt.

It isn't expensive but may cause very expensive repair.
