Can anybody say if it's ok to still drive like this as the guy I use is away for 2 weeks.
I'm afraid it will get worse and at some point will suddenly fail. That has happened to others. Once the rubber starts tearing it can start to fail even quicker. Two weeks? No way of knowing.

I think you have some mechanical know-how. Maybe get a Corteco pulley and start doing the job yourself - you know, all the prep work - then get a mobile mechanic to come by with a strong impact gun to get the pulley off and the new one secured on. Then you can reassemble everything yourself. Hopefully there is a mobile mechanic who has the special tool for the pulley bolt.

Cheers,
Glenn
