I have a 51 plate fiat Bravo with a misfire, I have replace the plugs, leads and coils, still have the same problem, the garage say its missing on number 1 and 2 cylinder, and put on computer it say misfire. They say it could be cylinder head has gone, but this sounds a bit drastic to me, read somwhere it could crankshaft sensor or another sensor. Anybody help with this???
 
The garage may have been able to confirm the failed head gasket by putting the exhaust gas tester in the radiator filler neck and testing for escaped gases through the cooling system.
 
Since 2 cylinders next to each other are missing I would assume that it's the head gasket gone, especially if it's a 1.2 engine. A compression check would confirm this, as well as visible contamination of the oil and coolant.

A repair, new gasket set, bolts, cambelt etc should sort you out and refresh the car if you can find the right garage to do a proper job (and with the right tools).
