SU on a 410 is probably the HIF38, does it look like the attached picture? Have you got a good spark on all 4 plugs too? Best to test each plug in its own lead to check HT leads are good too.

Compression test it, head gasket could have completely gone.

Have you changed the oil and water to check for signs of contamination?

New spark plugs and leads may improve it too.

Is it starting at all?

Where in Somerset are you?

If you are not too far from me I could come have a look.
