i've had the car 7 years and appart from a few new tyres and a new handbrake switch, it has been a fab reliable car. It has 85k on the clock.
The oil can lamp came on Saturday during a local trip (before knocking sound appeared) so it was topped up with oil. Sound began 2 days later and swiftly took to the garage. They have said there is a major engine issue and to get it to a hyundai dealership as it would need a specialist to strip it down, investigate and repair. It's either a cam shaft issue or a crank shaft issue they say. We were thinking of downsizing the car anyway last year, so now I don't know if it would be worth a potentially very expensive repair or try and sell it with such a huge problem? Obviously decreasing it's value massively. I have no idea how much it's worth now and don't want to just give it away. 🥺
