serious cut in performance
 

ok, so I started up the car today, and the idle was very rough, and sounded like something metallic clanging in the engine. the car wouldn't go past 4k rpm, and struggled up a hill until I turned it around and parked it again. I hope the car holds together long enough to get it to the service shop in norwich...

what's causing the noise? it ran ok yesterday, still down on performance and seemed like 2 cylinders weren't firing, but today it was the worst I've heard and seen it run.
