Crank sensor/ wiring possibly, try wiggling the wires to the sensor while its running, see if it plays up

What code reader was used? Some scanners are crap and don't show intermittent fault codes when a snap-on one would. Its worth checking the crank sensor wiring as I mentioned before as its a common fault and would make sense with the symptoms you have.
lets see if it sorts it .

Crank sensor issue

Too many
I'd say it needs going to a garage where they can diagnose it, rather than blindly guessing at what it could be over the internet. Yes, it'll cost you a chunk of cash, but at least you'll get an answer. You'll probably spend loads of money blindly buying parts anyway!

Genuin renault one, with the new loom? Could be loom issue goin to the sensor.

Try giving the throttle body a clean and see if it free moving

I'm pretty sure if the wiring was playing up further back for the crank sensor , it'll have logged a code .
Now poor fuel pressure caused by a dodgy relay and playing up when hot may cause this type of fault also.
Check the fuel pump relay if you haven't already

Crank sensor issues doesnt log any codes as far as im aware

Is it only happening when the engine is hot?
If so it sounds similar to an issue i had that was because of a faulty coolant temp sensor.

It started off being difficult to start when it was hot. Progressively got worse and after a while noticed temp guage would randomly drop occasionally for a few seconds. (That also got more noticeable over time) Eventually it started cutting out on low revs. It would then run fine for a while if I left the car to cool down a bit. I replaced the coolant temp sensor and its been fine for over a year now, but ive heard some people had issues with the wire/connectors and not the sensor itself.
When this was happening the only thing diagnostics found was with one of the lambda sensors which caused engine light to come on, but I think that is a slightly separate issue with my car as that still happens now if the car takes a couple of seconds to fire up for any reason (and obviously I was turning it over a lot trying to get it to start when I had this issue)

Just read the thread I made at the time when I was trying to find the problem,
Forgot to mention in the previous post it was also stuttering under full throttle.
