Default dont leave a broken sparkplug

a freind a few doors down had her mk3 fiesta serviced by her next door neighbour a while back i did offer to do it for her but she said her neighbour was doing it and knows what he is doing anyway the dickhead changed the sparkplugs but broken the top off the plug and it fell down in the bore but left it and just replaced the plugs anyway 30miles later the engine packed up he now has to replace the engine for her lol.

i did a service on my mates 200 bubble rover and the last person to put the plugs in on it cross threaded one of them and i had to hand drill the thread out the plug and try not to damage the head as it was really soft alloy, anyway a cam belt and head gasket + 5 hours of my time we got it all sorted next time i find a stiff plug it's staying in there

Is he going to change the engine ?

If he cannot change a sparkplug then I would not let him touch the car again. lol
