A poorly ford fiesta

[ste_bla]

A friend of mine (no not me!) bought a Ford Fiesta 96 1.3 and We've noticed a few problems and hes wondering just how to much to fix;

* Exust is blowing sounds like coming before the back box
* A MOUNTAIN of blue smoke CONTINUALLY coming out, more so when gas applied
* 1 uk gallon of oil (the recomended grade) for every 700 miles!
* The Leads have a chacky material coming out of them onto the spark plugs
* Theres fresh oil around the tappet cover
* Loud tappet noise even when correctly ajusted
* Oil plus white gunk in the air filter

Oh and he thinks it doesnt burn oil please tell him i'm right and it had and does!

LOL are you serious is there no cheap fixes? Wha is likely to be wrong with it?

And im guessing he should have spent £1k on this car..

Is it worth getting a recon/working engine or just try again on another car? (and this time someone will go with him!)
