How can I fix my L reg rover 214?

take a sparkplug out, put it in the ht lead and lean it on bare metal on the engine, put your finger over the plug hole and get someone to turn the car over.
this answers 3 questions, do 1 have a spark, do i have compresion, and a wet/ petrol smelling finger says you have fuel.
if you have compresion ie you could feel pressure on your finger your timing belt is ok, in no comp it may have snapped, and it is likely to cost around £250.
