Dropped a piston?

Guys sister has had a little bit of trouble with her ford focus. She has had it since new and every now and again it missfires and hesitates, its rare but it happens.

 

It goes into the garage for a check and the mechanic phones her up saying to come and have a look at the car. At some point during the change he snapped one of the plugs and it ended up in the bore. The only way to get it out was to take the head off. When the head came off it turned out the car only had 3 pistons.

 

The car had been running without a no.1 piston since she got the car.

 

Quite a sight actually.
