Renault Clio 1.4 16v
I recently bought a 2001 Renault Clio 1.4 16v 'Privilege'. It's done around 65k but as far as I know it hasn't been serviced since 35k. Headed straight to get fuel after buying it and two miles down the road it started running really lumpy. Once filled, it took 2-3 goes to start up and i had to rev it quite a bit as it felt like it wanted to cut out in idle - ran rough all the way home, shaking, jumpy and slow on acceleration, especially in low gears... unfortunately it's been this way ever since. Often it suddenly gets life in higher revs but then pulls back again after not too long.
So far I have changed...spark plugs, ignition coil pencils, air filter and i also cleaned the crankshaft sensor. Start up still not smooth, but once going it seems fine for a few miles before it starts playing up again. Doesn't seem to want to cut out in idle now but still lumpy/shaking.
OBD II (Cheap Fault Code Reader) shows codes:
Unsure how to check transmission fluid levels/transmission fluid temp sensor condition tbh, there's minimal videos/info online for this model. My engine bay is unlike 'regular' MK2 Clios that there are loads of videos for. As you may have figured, i'm a bit of a novice but trying to figure it out and learn from it.
Transmission fluid and transmission fluid temp sensor aside, any ideas of what I should try next (besides going to the garage)?
Any help would be great!

OBD II (Cheap Fault Code Reader) shows codes:
- P0711 Transmission Fluid Temperature Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
- B0500 Not clear what this is, lots of different info online - any ideas?
