loss of power and bad tapping
hello i was driving down the motorway giving it a bit of welly and the rpm meter just stayed at 5k revs and then lost power completely so i pulled over in the garage put some more petrol in as it was a little low went to start it and after trying to start for about 5 seconds it started then as i reved to pull to a safer place like 50 yards to a hotel car park where the AA would come and have a look he reckons its a hydraulic valve on the drivers side of the engine took it to a garage and now they are having a look does anybody know if this is a major job or just a tricky one and what sort of price should i be looking at paying
