You've been having some coolant problems lately haven't you mate? I'm afraid going by what you describe, it doesn't sound too good. First thing to do in the morning is check all the fluid levels & give the engine a good looking over to see if there are any clues there. FFS don't start the engine again until you have a better idea what has happened though! ::)

Anything I say is only conjecture mate, but I would be checking the timing belt hadn't slipped. It could be the noise you're hearing is a valve or two hitting the piston on No. 4 pot if it's at the back, but as said, only could be! :-/

Check your message inbox in a couple of minutes. I'll be sending you a number of a guy based North Sheffield / South Rotherham area who does recovery.
I don't know where Spilsby is, so have no idea what he will charge.
PS; he only takes cash.
