Default V6 engine problem

Help,just took the V6 Tourer out and after about 2 miles there was a knocking noise from the engine which got worse when I put it in neutral to coast to stop,then decided to go back home and the knocking got worse and engine was really struggling then it just died, there's a ton of oil coming out of the bottom of the block,it won't even start up again just keeps clicking and trying to turn over,any help would be great

It's knackered, phone the scrap man it has reached the end of the road, unless you want to fit a replacement engine.

Sorry Mark, it does sound terminal though, Trikey may be able to cast his eye over it if you think it may be salvageable.

Drop him a PM, he can only confirm or dispel what I've said
