Make sure you buy a genuine one from Renault - they come up with a new plug to fit, too.

It can be a little fiddly, but it's pretty easy to find on the top of the gearbox once the airbox is out.

is it basicly a plug and play jobby so to speak, or im i gonna need a garage to do it?

The plug needs replacing, it has two little solder rings, so AFAIK, it's a case of cutting the plug, stripping a bit of insulation back, putting it together and heating it up.

Once you've replaced the plug, it's two bolts out and two bolts in. Location is fiddly, but that's nothing a little bit of patience can't solve.
