Ive just found out that the electrical [roblem is only a misfire, but he doesnt know whats cauising it, so it could be as simple as bad plugs or leads.

They are/were/still are very bad for the rocker cover gaskets leaking oil down into the spark plug holes. Then the leads degrade and break down.
You need to sort the leak first before fitting new leads or it's just a vicious circle.

I hope he finds his £500, what does he want for the car ? My nephew drives one of these now and he loves it, his Sierra went to the scrapyard in the sky.
