Engine failure
Just seing the post of what happen to Ades car. Jnd wondering what the most common problem of engine failure is in the cosworth engines. Im pressuming the most common is poorly setup with lack of fueling?

yep, at a guess lack of maintenance and regular checks. meaning degrading components go unnoticed and then meltdown happens 
doesn't cylinder three always seem to go too, poor inlet design presumably?

most common failures i have seen are (not in any order):
engine not built right in the first place, ie a clearance out or a bolt not tightened or similar
poor maintainaince
poor tuning
Most common basic failure on any turbo car has to be the head gasket
