Issues; Advice Please!

Got back in my car after work a while back, turned it over and it started fine but pulled off and its only firing off 3 cylinders... So I took it to my nearest Renault Specialist and they said there was a bit of coolant in the third cylinder, and the spark plugs n leads wanted changing. So they did it, and less than a month - same exact problem, so out come the RAC. Coolant, third cylinder. Cleans it out, re fits plugs etc and I'm driving again, but I can't help have the thought of Cylinder head and HG creeping into my mind. Took it back to the same Renault specialist and after asking them to check that it's nothing more serious a good ten times, they came back with it being a small amount of fluid, (now all of a sudden not coolant) in the same cylinder, and reckoned it could have come up through the rocker cover bolt threads???

I'm not feeling all that convinced/confident. Any advice? I'm thinking maybe second opinion somewhere (suggestions welcome).

Last one - my car is sort of jolting in low revs, mainly in first and second gear pulling off (first gear) or accelerating from idling in second. Fine when the revs get up a bit, I was wondering if it could be exhaust related? It's been blowing and popping a bit more than normal lately, backbox has been replaced so i'm fairly certain its centre section. I want to get the KTR SS Stealth kit anyway, does it sound like this could be the problem?

Sorry for the essay, anyone that's grizzed through and read it firstly hats off to you and thanks very much, secondly any help you have would be awesome.

Thanks very much

Second opinion sounds like a good way to progress. MWM (Staines) aren't too far from you.

Nice one thanks mate, I just want it sorted... I hate driving about with the thought that it's not 100%. I was thinking that the low rev jolt could possibly be a loose/dodgy engine mount? Think I'll take it to the place you suggested and just get them to go over everything, get it tip top.
