Mornin all! Left the house ten mins ago for work. Started the car as normal and sat for a min or two. When i drive the car from cold i always take it very gently with no boost until its warmed up. Everythin was grand for a few mins til i pulled off a roundabout and i heard a knocking sound. Pulled in straight away, but decided it was better to head back to the house.
I'm no mechanic and anything i know about my car i've learned from all you guys here
The car is a bit tappety when cold but this was louder. I instantly thought bye bye engine but its not a deep sounding knock, almost a flappy type of knock that matches engine speed, but definitely a knock. When i got back to the house i popped the bonnet and gave it a bit of a rev and couldn't hear anything nasty. I certainly hope its not fooked but i'm being cautious just in case.
It's not easy to diagnose anything with that description but does anyone have any ideas/suggestions of what it may be?
Thanks
