There's always hundreds of possibilities; but on these, the pencil ignition coils are the place to look first.

Take it to an independent garage for a code read. If the coils are original, you might blag a free set out of Renault.... or not , as the case may be.

Continued driving with a misfire can seriously damage the cat.
