To be honest I'd have thought it would be unlikely, but in reality anything is possible.

You really need to sort the misfire out though mate, as your placing the engine under stress by using it in its current condition. That's without mentioning that your washing out your misfiring bore with petrol on every single compression stroke. I've seen engine's go terminal from the stresses placed under it in those conditions.

Speedo and abs are related to the nearside abs front abs sensor iirc (might be the offside lol, defo one of them though ), try checking the abs ring for broken castelations and cleaning it up, could be broken or dirty causing it to miss read.

HTH

Thats the spirit.

I'd just do one thing at a time. (e.g. get the plugs/leads/pack) replaced first. You'll probably find it'll be fine then. You can take your time with that too, handy if you need a rest.
