   When turning my engine on it was sounding orite until last night and now it basically sounds like a petrol lawnmower.
   
   Does anyone know what that problem could be?
   
   Cheers,

   is it tapping or knocking, or is it running like its mis-firing , many things will make your car sound as though its "running like a lawnmower" need more info, is it down on power, or just noisey, or just clutch operation related???
