pinking is detonation, on a turbo car caused by wrong AFR, normal cars normally timing out, yours could be a combination of both.

now to me pinking dont sound like a diesel it sounds more like a mettalic sound, thats why didnt suggest it

I wish 1.6 CVHs would run as smooth as a modern Transit Diesel...

Either it's pinking/detonating or there's something wrong in the cylinder head. (Rocker arm broken/loose?, hydraulic tappets leaking? camshaft worn?)

Low oil pressure obviously!!!

Don't drive it like that or it'll be f'cked in no time...

What you probably hear is the cylinder head running without lubrication and wrong valve clearance since the tappets don't get enough oil.

Has it been off the road for quite some time before it started losing oil pressure? So far I've had two RST's with bad oil pressure due to a blocked up oil cooler (the thing thats between engine block and oil filter).
