Cant seem to find anymore wiring faults. Seen a Ecu, uch, key and pickup ring on eBay for £150, may try that.
Today I changed the three small black relays in the engine fuse box, removed every fuse and checked them again, removed the uch (which someone has been in before, tooling marks on the clips), plugged it all back in again. Also tried another pickup ring too, but nothing.

Its just if it needs programmed to the injectors, nearest Renault garage is 70 miles away, unless something other than clip can be used to program them?

You can read the codes on top of the injectors. You could try asking a few mobile diagnostics company's in your area if they would be able to program the injector codes to the new computer. If you can find a renault specialist it may be possible. I doubt they'll charge if they cant

I know a few local companies anways, hopefully one of them can do it, though saying that, I hope it doesnt need doing at all!
New ECU, UCH, 3x Keys, pickup ring, clocks, barrel, locks and fuel cap on the way!

Well thats a new ECU, UCH, barrel, pickup ring and keys fitted....
Still the fucking same 
Except now the starter motor makes a hellish noise in the two seconds it usually turns over.
Still no glow plug light, immobiliser light staying on solid.

Near enough, all I can do now is remove the dash and entire car loom, and try and find any wiring faults!

I guess you've already checked because you seem thorough but check the daddy fuse in the main positive battery cable witha multimeter. check the resistance
Mine had semi blown (fuck knows how) and was causing an intermittant fault with the same symptons as yours.

In the cable? Only fuses ive checked is the ones in the main fuse boxes, unless ive been a tool and missed one?

Would think it's fine as the starter motor works, but I'll try it anyway.

I couldnt handle that every day, no chance.
Some monkey had been in about it before, one of the wires that was broken had been "fixed" before, two ends wrapped together and taped
