    I don't reckon it will make a difference (its only 2.5mm radius change), but do you need a whole new one or is it just the bearing gone in it. Assuming its the same setup as the Disco, the bearings are easy to replace if thats all the problem is.

    And while you are buying the bearing get a new circlip with ends on it.
    The standard ones you buy are too thick for the groove in the pulley, but if you thin them down gently with a grinder or sanding disk (don't let it get hot or it will lose its spring temper) then they fit in great and makes it easy replacing the bearing next time.
