Yes huge problem mate. Sounds to me like your engine has gone bang. You're better off scrapping it and buying a new car I'm afraid.

The "clean" and "throttlebody" keys on my laptop are worn out from over use.

Can someone else post it up.

Cheers

If the oil light is coming on then the oil level is low, hope you have nt done any damage.
