sudden and quick knocking sound at speed

Post by atdrapkin »

Could anybody help with an issue I have when the engine has been "under pressure" for a while. Not on acceleration. After, say, 30-60 mins driving, and steady at around the 80mph mark, if I then push the engine further I can suddenly get a knocking sound from the engine area. Its a quick "knock" of 5 metallic sounding knocks. And its just that - it sounds like somebody knocking on a door.

Any body have any ideas?

Thanks very much
