Do you know if it has the correct plugs in it? Whip it off and have a look. They may need replacing.
A good service with new filters can usually help. Failing that, might be a coil pack or lead breaking down, so best to check the cheaper options first

Whhooooaaaaa, now we are getting into big money territory. Did HE do the belts, or have them done somewhere?
Best plugs are NGK PFR6E-10. Standard leads are fine as long as they arent torn/worn.
garage done it all to cost of nearlly £600 and ill be ordering me some of them plugs and leads if i was to upgrade them what would be my best choice?
when i say about what hes done is cut rear springs, bodged to high hevens exhaust and then there is the inner cv boot general wear there like and found out he put a side hander MOT on it last year =/

Bet the timing is out if they didnt have correct tools.
dont be saying this to me!! aha cost much/places to be done in leeds?
might take it back to rstuning 2 moz see what they think to it the car itself was a swap for my 04 corsa van which i payed like £400 for so thats what this car stands me at looking at it like that just abit peeed off he didnt tell me anything that was needed or what he had done be right

RS Tuning is a Trader on here or RS Murray (Paul at RS Tunings dad) both in Leeds and know these cars well. They will look after you and use the correct timing tools etc

Just because its not been done by a "specialist" doesnt mean the timing is out. For the price of a few cam caps, you can check it yourself, its easily done.
Get the inlet off and check the plugs before ordering any though.
Failing that, take it somewhere reputable (if you arent confident with spanners) and get a full srrvice. That should be oil filter, oil change (5w40), air filter, cabin filter and spark plugs.

yeh i hope its all done right i thought if it was if timing was out would rip engine apart
but i am new to clio's always owned vauxhalls dont know my way round these engines *yet*and yeh i was thinking another service would be key so i know whats in there and am guessing 5w40 is best to be run in there?

I was saying the timing would be out because they may not have used the correct timing tools!! not because of who did it.
