Unhappy D2 S8 - Big end gone?

Evening guys,

Just popped out to the shops and as I was heading back I opened the window because I thought I heard a rattling around. I nearly cried when I heard what sounds like the big end rattling away. It seems to increase and get louder with revs from what I can hear but the car doesn't seem to vibrate or be down on power.

I know this is difficult to diagnose without a video, but I'm not going to sleep tonight if I think its kaput! Its very cold and dark here but I had a real quick listen under the car and if anything it sounds like its coming from the behind the engine, more towards where the exhaust joins from the two banks to one.

Is there any chance others have had this and it turned out to be something simple like an exhaust clamp maybe?

Any help appreciated.

Cheers
Rich
