Ok I know this isn't a Pug forum but they take forever to reply when someone on here will know.
Bascically, heard a knocking noise coming from the top of the engine? Engine runs fine etc, poss needs a service, but I heard a knocking noise isn't good?
Also, is their anything it could be? cheers

cheers mate... it's nearer to the centre of the engine. When I rev it the knocking gets faster. Just had to nip out for work, and the car didnt start, it tried twice.. Then when I put the bonnet up and turned the key to try again it started  first time it's done that ?

Don't know how you can say that when you don't know?

How do you mean? Her knocking gets faster when you put the throttle down, it has been checked by various garages and is basically knackered. She doesn't drive it. It's sitting on her drive till she can afford to get it fixed.

Oh, so if it's fucked, then why is it fucked? Surely they didn't just say it's fucked? They must of said something was wrong?

Yeah, but I don't fully understand engines. The Zetec engines are prone to burning oil, which it did by the previous owner as I always checked the oil in hers. From what I gathered, one of the pistons is basically wobbling in the engine, as the piston ring has gone.
Something like that. Might not be exactly the same problem as yours. After all, they are different engines BUT what you described sounds similar.
Sorry for being so vague.

Nah I understand. I've been told it could be something to due with the spark plugs? Or something around that area. As for all, dodgy spark plugs would cause it to miss fire on start up?
