Hi Tina, the most common problem for renaults intermittant starting is the crankshaft sensor, it is renaults best selling spare part!! its mounted on the joint between the engine and gearbox on the top only held in with two bolts and a plug around £25 from eurocarparts much more from the main stealership!!
