Usual cause normally an ignition coil/ pack breaking down under load and dropping a cyl .Could check and replace one or complete set .But possibly something else , need to get it scanned to verify and see what code shows if you cant locate faulty coil .

Expensive job to do right .Better fitting a cam belt kit including water pump at the same time if you intend to keep the car .Renault dealership would charge at a guess , using genuine Renault parts ,
£7-800 +.A local independant garage should be able to get parts a lot cheaper ie.

And labour will be cheaper also .Still not a cheap repair .
