MIne has self destructed in the clutch area.

What does it consist of please?

Mine had fallen off and jammed my steering column
 
Has the actual clutch fallen off or "just" the pulley ?
I had the small pulley retaining bolt undo itself & cause the pulley to fall off & cut a nasty circle into the rad.
The various impacts had damaged the pulley beyond use, but a second hand replacement pulley fitted & functioned fine - after replacing the rad.
I bought the pulley (with the rest of the compressor) for £30 from a Land Rover breaker.
 
MJI, my description was incorrect (too many D2 repairs to remember correctly after so long - lol).
It was the the clutch plate that separated from the pulley after the bolt came undone & was replaced by a s.h. plate from another compressor.
The replacement part looked like the item in this link https://www.ebay.com/p/A-C-Compressor-Clutch-Hub-Denso-Santech-Industries-MT2302/115126029
The Denso air con compressor is used on many different vehicle.

I have a slightly mangled one of those. no bolt and no idea what other parts were involved
 
On ours, there's only the clutchplate & retaining bolt (m6 I think), but the important thing is that there is also a washer inside the clutch plate nose - effectively a spacer between the clutch plate & shaft. The washer disappeared on ours when the clutch plate fell off.
On the s.h. compressor I bought, I initially didn't realise there was a washer because it was semi stuck inside the clutch plate nose by a bit of grease. It was only looking at some youtube videos I noticed there was one.
As long as you know to check it's there, replacement of the clutchplate, washer & bolt is easy (saving a lot of work needed to replace & re-gas a complete compressor)
You can see the washer etc in the attached Youtube video at about 2 mins 40s onwards.

Thanks for that.

No spring seen?

I recovered the washer from the shaft and the mangling is the non clutch side

Just need to check all my spare bolts for a suitable one
 
No spring in the set-up.
If the clutch plate working side is ok, you may be able to just re-assemble.
I'd just make a judgement if the damage on the outside face is enough to effect balance of the plate significantly - ie shake the compressor bearings excessively.
I'd also suggest loctite on the bolt thread.
