On Thursday of last week, Carol dropped me off at work. As I got out of the car I thought I could hear a metallic rattling sound from the from offside of the engine. It went away while I listened for it, so I thought "better look at that this weekend"... The following day Carol collected our daughter from school and went to buy fish and chips. On the way home she heard a bang and suddenly there were clouds of white smoke from the engine bay and the back of the car. Brake, pull over, switch off engine, hazard lights on. I got a phone call - "There was a bang, lots of smoke, and it stinks!" -
