manifold gasket?

coilpack leads or plugs

well its none of the above
had the plugs out do a compresion test and found that 2 of the plugs have been smashed by the piston, so think some how the timing belt has jumped ;(

but the best part is, i only had the timing belt and AUX belt replaced 2400 miles at my loacl garage with renault parts,

does anyone know where i'd stand on getting thenm to fix it? or am i fucked???

Depends on EXACTLTY went wrong, can you visually inspect the belts and see if anything obvious has happened? Or anything else that may be relevant

well no becoz i dont want the car to look like i've tampered with it and but all i no is that the some valves have droped and 2 of the plugs have been hit, and the aux belt has got a snag in it

Ar well this is whatb happens what a garage doesn't use the right tools or do the job right.

(this is usually the reason they fail so soon they have failed before even with the right tools but very very very very infrequently basically one hand counting after a lot of belts.)
