Got an fiesta ecoboost 1.0 2013

For a couple months on startup I’d get the oil light and warning come up for literally 2 seconds and go off, questioned this at a garage and with a couple of mechanics and they said probably sensor fault aslong as it’ll goes out it’ll be fine.

last week engine started to feel like it was trying to pull back a little bit, within one journey the warning sound kept going off with no light, then all of a sudden the light and warning sound was going off every 20 seconds and within the same journey the car started to really rattle a lot when revving. Took it to a friend mechanic who said oil pump has gone. Changed the oil pump, now on start up sounds like it used to but the second you Rev there’s rattling and the light comes on again.

the mechanic seems to think I’ve damaged the engine and that it’s going to go any time soon.

any help with this without needing a new engine, I literally ordered a new car last week and I’m using this as a deposit so need something cheap to fix or it’ll not be worth fixing at all
