I was driving to Yass from Canberra to pickup something with a trailer. On the way I heard a ticking sound that I though was coming from the trailer, but it turns out it was coming from under the bonnet.
So I kept driving along and after driving for 50km/s the engine lost power and shut off. I pulled the car over to the side of the highway and there was a lot of smoke coming from the exhaust manifolds, pod filter, and the thermostat area.
After allowing the engine to cool down for 30 minutes I attempted to start it, I could hear the battery trying to start the engine with a lot a effort, (1 turn/ 3 seconds). I had the car towed home.
So what could be the problem?
EDIT: The engine oil appears to be fine.
