RS 172
After taking a mate to the local factors yesterday i pulled away gave it a little bit of beans but nothing to excessive coming away then slowed for the traffic ahead. As i slowed down the car just lost all revs and the engine cut out, so turned the key, engine started no problem carried on driving up the road and it happened again, i could hear an awful rattle coming from under the bonnet, as i only live round the corner i thought i would get the car home and have a look there. Got it home after it cutting out a few more times. So instead of just turning the key i bumped it and it started again fine but then lost all rev's as soon as i took my foot off the pedal.
Got it home and it just wouldn't start at all so called the RAC out, first off the RAC bloke said it was just the battery as it was only showing 6v when i turned he key. Then got it started and he heard the rattle, with the bonnet open it was quite a bit louder. The noise sounds like it is coming from inside the head and it looks like there is oil getting out of the head from somewhere.
I sent it off to the main dealers on the back of a low loader and have been told they will either look at it today or tomorrow morning.
Nothing like main dealer urgency!
Just wanted to know if anyone could shed any light or give me some ideas as to what it might be?
Thanks!
