Why did my Toyota Corolla break down?

Hi,

My Toyota Corolla broke down on the M8 while driving to Dublin. Had the car for seven years no problem. It gave a clicking sound a few times and then suddenly started slowing down. I stopped by the hard shoulder and opened the bonnet to see smoke coming out of the engine. I got the oil indicator and thought it needs oil. I topped it up, but now the car won't start. I called breakdown assist who took me to the nearest garage. It just doesn't start now. What is wrong with my car?

Is the Golf GTI Performance no more?

Has Volkswagen Ireland stopped importing the GTI Performance? I have been told by Volkswagen that production for the performance model is ceasing (but it still seems to be available to order in other markets). Wondering if this is a temporary measure to help shift the glut of R models available for sale?

Many thanks
