Probs started on sunday...went for a quick run out in the morning and everything was fine....then came to go out sunday night...and the car started to rattle as i drove down the road....drove about five miles and the noise got worse so i pulled the car up and turned her off...then it would'nt restart..so i called the AA... :xxx:

 

The guy from the AA said that the noise was pinking...at it was prob caused by the fact that the oil level showing on the dip stick was to high, causing oil to enter the inlet manifold and throttle bodies..He advised going to a garrage to have these cleaned out and the oil level dropped. Any way I took into a garrage today and they told me that the problem was prob due to a leak on the fuel line under the bonnet which they found. So they proceeded to fix the leak. I picked the car up drove it home, I still have a pinking noise, its still hard to start and theres a lack of power. :cry:

 

Would a road rolling tune be a good idea.

 

Or can any one help, and tell me what the prob might be.

 

Cud i of damaged the car driving approx 10miles with the pinking noise.. :(

 

Cheers dudes
