Well had a mechanic to look at it said its one of 2 things uch whatever that is and said all the relays are buggered all corroded and the board where the relays go has water in it oh and the battery is very low but I can charge that up anyone know what I should do next any advice please thanks all

Yep, sounds like uch matey. Loads of threads on it on here. Have a search about. There's a place that can repair uch's and is far cheaper than getting a new one.

Only other option is to buy a second hand uch/ecu/key(s) off eBay or someone on here and fit them instead. Don't try and jut replace the uch as its paired with the ecu.

I have no idea what a uch is mate the guy wants to replace all the relays as Said that could be it what u think and how much u reckon these things cost cheers for the reply.

Dude, where abouts are you in the uk? I'd be inclined to go to a Renault specialist and get a proper job done. Please don't let some random garage mess around with it, they'll just get you spends more money than you need too. A Renault specialist will diagnose the problem straight away and fix that rather than fixing everything but the main problem.

If you let me know roughly where you are I'll have a look and see where your nearest specialist is. Or join as a full member and you'll have full access to the information!

The cost of the membership will be saved in the specialist doing the work for you!

Cheers mate so you think hold fire for a moment on getting te relays changed (even though they are corroded to hell and back) j live in a Wales near aberdare mate thanks for the advice

Had a quick look on here and your nearest specialist would appear to be these guys. Worth a punt even for a second opinion.

I would do a search about APD before you take your car there.

 

[kriscwales]

Any reason why mate guy seems decent enough to me.

 

[jordski19]

There are mixed reviews of his work on here, but considering your car isn't drivable and the nearest after him is north Wales........

 

[kriscwales]
