Thats a shame Dean

Nice car too.......you should keep the faith and you will get to a point where you have replaced everything so there is nothing to go wrong

Good luck with the sale mate

[nothelle300]

thanks mate.Problem is i really have no more money to spare to spend on the car, and it does just seem like one thing after another with it,and as we all know parts for these cars arent cheep!Worst thing since i have owned the car today was probably the best it has ever ran tell tonight!!!But i have got to draw a line somewhere with it!just pulled all the receipts out and they total £17000!!!!!!!and im sure theirs lots of them gone awol!

Whats left to do on it?

[nothelle300]

to be honest their is nothing that i can think of except stop the noise which has developed in the engine as of tonight!but apart from this i thing every part very nearly has been renewed!!!

Can you describe the noise a bit mate??

As in where in the engine is it from? is it permanently doing it or just sometimes?? etc

[s2driveruk]

if it is a tappety noise might be as simple as an oil change - i have had this on mine and a good change sorted it out....

[nothelle300]

i dont like to say it but i think it is bottom end as it is quite a heavy bang as does not sound like tappets/dizzy.The oil pressure light did come on before the banging started and the temperature increased to 120degrees.I had the car towed home and have not started it since.The noise is probably worst at 2000-2500rpm,but seems to dissapear as you rev the engine but i cant be sure as the engine is so damned noisey anyway when you rev it up.Their was no problems atall with the car prior to this evening it just came from nowhere!

dean,


I'd let somebody whose "engine savvy" have a look/listen to it , I'm sure there's somebody on the forum near you who could do that for you, as mentioned by others might be something trivial, but either way if you're selling it , it's gonna be hard to sell a car with a known "problem" so makes sense t o get it looked at or fixed , be a hell of a lot easier to sell especially with the other work you've had done.

HTH

hi thanks eric.May have been a bit abrupt last night but its so annoying though!especially as it was running so well and had only just had mot/tax/tracking/tyres/battery/service yesterday!
I think i will get someone who knows more about the car to have a listen but my dad had a listen and he is quite mechanically minded and said it was to harsh(metallic) of a noise to be a top end fault, and it is most likely top end bearings gone????But if their is any chance that it is something gone wrong in the bottom end (which i assume is gonna cost lots!)the car is gonna have to go!Even if its a quick fix!
many thanks

Did you check the milege after it came back from the mot ? Did you trust the garage who did the work?

Very good point....

Dean.....is it possible the garage mechanics gave your car a sound pasting and brought this problem on??
If so ....get on to them ASAP

[nothelle300]

This has crossed my mind as the garage had the car all day to do the tracking/camber, and also when i went to collect it the lad started the engine and said their was a funny noise which at this time though couldnt be heard!Im guessing when they do the tracking they would have to run the car to make sure the settings are correct,but i didnt set the clock back before i took it their!However the car has been the several times before and i have had no problems and they do seem to be genuine guys!but the it is coincidence that it happened at the same time!!!!!!!
many thanks

Sounds like there was a prob with your oil pump and that has caused damage to your bottom end. Reason being your oil light came on for a short time and soon after you ran your big end.

It is hard to tell just reading about it as its always better to hear the noise but 90% sure your big ends have gone . Any garage will be able to diagnose the prob

[nothelle300]

yea the oil light came on but thats when u pulled over stop the car and had a good look.Their were no leaks and the oil level was fine!But when i started the engine up again the banging was their!Is it a major job replacing the big ends, anyone have any ideas how much it would cost???Oh just been out and started her and the noise is still their.The oil does not look good but has only covered 1500miles.Also as soon as i started it from cold the oil pressure went straight up to 4 bar.
