Ok so coming home from work just now and was letting my frustration out on the car, giving it a good seeing too

Suddenly couldnt feel any power, car slowed right down then wouldnt start again sounds strange wen i try and start it again! Oil light is constantly on, could it be that there is no oil? possibly dry?

Any ideas? anyone awake? lol

If its been starved of oil you could be in serious trouble mate. I ain't no expert but that could cause head gasket failure I think.
