Will it hurt my Renault R18i to drive with old spark plugs?

Replace spark plugs on time or about every 30,000 miles or so. Spark plugs are small but mighty. The spark of electricity that the plug emits across a small gap creates the ignition for the combustion needed to start your car. Without that spark, your car won't start.

What does a puddle underneath my Renault R18i mean?

Are some driving habits better for my Renault R18i engine than others?
