Maybe timing chain has jumped some teeth. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/88578-help-fg-turbo-ute-broke-down/#findComment-1480525 Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mechanic came over and checked it out and he reckons one of the valve springs might have given way but I'm getting the car towed tonight to his place and ill know for sure in the next few days ill be sure to keep you guys posted.
