Default Car is not able to start. Knocking sound before stopping

hi all,
having a situation and I need your experience input please. My model is the Col supwrcahrge superaport
Was driving my car when all of a sudden I hear like a knocking sound from the engine bay. It wasn’t very loud and the level of noise kept varying.

Now ow it won’t start at all. Please help me by letting me know what is wrong.

I truly appreciate all feedback. Urgent.

Sounds like a connecting rod bearing seized and you had what is called "rod knock". If the volume and frequency increased with RPM's it's almost for sure.
Chances are you will need a new engine.

Welcome to the forum Danesh sovo,

I'm sorry you have arrived here with such a serious sounding problem. I have to agree with rhomanski that from the sound you describe, it's likely to be a failed bearing.

The engine will have to be partially stripped to determine the exact cause. Rebuilding Jaguar engines is extremely expensive in parts alone, regardless of where you are in the World and I expect finding that expertise in KL will not be easy.
