Does the car have a lack of power? Any warning lights? Any smells?

I had a similar problem on a clio I 96, The problem was the engine base, it got warn out thanks to all the road bumps and had to be replaced. Now I have a smooth silent ride :)

My problem was: shakes in D while not moving (waiting at a light), The gas pedal was shaking while driving, the engine was shaking and had strange sounds.

I hope this helps

Is te MIL showing on the dash display?. Have the vehicle read for fault codes. Sounds like it's a coil fault causing misfire.A common fault on this vehicle.
