Help please!!

Watch this link and u'll see why lol

If anyone has followed my other posts this will be old news... but.

cars been standing for about 6 -7 weeks. Sold it, guy brought it back and said it looses power and makes a really loud nocking noise.

I had it back and just put it on ebay for £100. know ive been thinking can it really be that bad. started it up (made a video of that for people to see) and it made a nocking noise which went away. then drove it up and down my road quite quickley and it seems fine.


This is in respose to the someone telling me the big ends have gone on it. Havnt got long untill its up on ebay so if its nothing major i could do with finding out, becuse i might have to go back to an escort soon anyway. I might just insure and tax it for another week and drive it about. Thing is.... I'm loosing my parking space for it cus I'm moving house, so I'm torn on if to let it go for nothing and never know if it was ok anyway... or keep it a big longer... spend more money... and will i just find out that its nackard (some how in the few weeks its been standing)

Epic over... i hope someone can shed some light

Thanks, Chris

Big ends !

[cjhillman]

would it not do it all the time if it was big ends? How would it have gone like that from just standing? I have been starting it quite a bit out back just to keep it running ok, but not moving it about much. The problem only seemed to arise after someone took it out. Never heard that noise before last week
