Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

2 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone experienced this? I was coming home Friday night from work, I got to within 1/4 mile of the house and I heard a funny tinny rattling coming from underneath the car. I immediately stopped the car because it sounded like the exhaust had fallen off! I couldn't see anything beneath the car so restarted the engine. The noise was still there so I switched the engine off again. I again looked underneath the car, this time oil was pissing out of the engine. The car has only done 20K miles and is just three years old and has a full AFN service history. To make things worse I have only owned the car 2 weeks (bought privately). Anyone got any ideas what I can do (Apart from cry!)
