Driving yesterday engine at normal temperature accelerated off a roundabout bit of a bang then loads of smoke and a nasty metallic noise coming from the engine. Dead engine right. That's what I thought. Horrible day pouring with rain. Contacted the break down company, when the driver arrived he had quick listen to the engine and agreed it was toast. Got it towed to a mechanic friend of mine as it was late decided to drop it outside ready for the morning. Next morning towed it in to the workshop. Started it to show my mechanic the noise. Well started perfect, no noise, no smoke. Even revved it to 4000rpm no problem.....
Then once warm 6 or 7 mins boom knocking returned and loads of smoke. Filled the workshop. We are stumped. Any ideas.
Of course the car is not usable and my mechanic says it's dead. But why no metalic noises when cold. Surely if there was a mechanical failure it would show even when cold.
