Oil light on - running shitty - unpleasant noise coming from the bottom - cut out and wont start = completely knackered engine mate. Have you looked underneath at the sump at all.

That was an expensive trip to the shops 8O

Warning lights are there for a reason.

Did you leave a oily mess on the drive with bits of metal in a pile?
