Hi all! I have already successfully used info from the forum to fix a few more issues but this one has me very confused. My son bought a 99 XJ8 L for $1k that needed tires and brakes. Car sounded great on the test drive and for the day after purchase. Yesterday he stated it was severely lacking power and that the check engine light blinked on and off. He managed to nurse it to a friend's house (should have towed it) and couldn't get the hood open due to an unseen mouse nest jamming the latch on the passenger side.Anyway he found there wasn't much oil in the car so he bought a new filter and oil. Did the change tonight and now it sits just slightly above Max level. After the oil change it makes this crazy noise, sounds like the top of the engine. https://1drv.ms/v/s!Ao0n5efM7C3g0wZlhM_UwO6Qo_GG That's a link to the video. The clinking or whatever is the noise. Thanks for the help in advance. He just needs the car until he can get his truck on the road. Got rear ended in his other car and this is the only thing he could afford. The car itself is very clean and even the engine bay is clean for having sat for 2 years.
