Our son has recently been diagnosed with a long term illness and needs to sell his 1996 FTO. However it has a loud knocking noise in the engine. I have been told that it is possibly a 'pushrod' but it needs further investigation.
We are from the Campbelltown area and are hoping that that some one could advise us on where to take this car for repair so we can then sell it or perhaps someone would like to purchase as is.
Our son can will not be employable for some time and the loan repayments keep coming so for us time is of the essence and any quick replies will be greatly appreciated.

sorry to hear about your son
if a rod is busted the engine will need to be taken apart to fix it, if thats the case it will be cheaper to buy a second hand engine and put it in.
I would definately be interested in buying the car as is, depending on the remaining loan amount and price you want for the car
