Timing chain broken on that side, lack of compression, also bent valves, lack of vacuum assistance to brake servo.
very suprised they cant pick that up, mind you I bet no one ther has ever seen one before.

Yeah sounds like your chain has jumped a few teeth or broke on that side. If it's broke you would also have very little power & engine would be very rough.
What Ford say refers to the Mk3 24V not the later Scorpio 95+

The garage is called Hartlands ford,but there you go!The engine does run rough so if it has jumped a few teeth maybe it has,nt bent valves.the garage also say the plugs are wet.but if the timming is out maybe they would be.

See what damage you have done first & then price it up first mate.
You may be shocked.
If you still want to do it there is guides on the main site.
At the very least a new chain, sprockets & guides for that side is gonna be about £250+
To do a proper job you need to do the other side also, you have to remove that sides chain anyway to do your bank 
Alot of money even if you do it yourself.
