G'day Guys n girls.
First post so I will try not to bore you.
Long story short, just bought an 06 ve calais with 230k on the clock, fixed a couple of cooling system issues and checked the engine over. Seemed to run fine, except for a little rattle on cold start up.
Drove it approximately 400kms before trying to drive up north. It developed a tick/knock and cut out when I pulled over to investigate. I managed to restart it after a couple of attempts. It now has a top end rattle/knock, idles ok but is noisy. Car has been towed to a transport yard now and I am flying up north. Previous owner reckons timing chains were done @ 200k. Never got hot or low on oil. Check engine light is on but I don't have my reader here. Previous owner said the light was due to O2 sensor.
Tried to attach a video but the file was too large.
