In the box the previous guy mentioned there are 4 relays... a large square (Red) one, and 3 smaller black rectangular ones. The large red one is the Fast cooling fan, the three smaller ones are slow cooling fan, fuel pump, and IMMOBILISER!!. I have a 2000 clio172, had the same trouble, and it was the immobiliser relay. I changed all 3, but got them from RS components (www.rswww.com part number 535-2542 at £2.80 each!) as Renault are £££!. Car has been great since!. You can also try linking them out first, but i'd be confident that it's that! - CLEAN THE RELAY'S SOCKETS TOO!!

this car has no cut out switch,it has a fuel pump relay in the black box under the bonnet on the passenger side inner wing,they can corrode or just pack up,small black relays.does the red immobilizer light on the dash stay on permanently when you try to start the car?
