Renaults seem to be very poor when it comes to the electric window mechanisms and they are often very costly to fix. Earlier model parts may be available at GSF at a vastly reduced price otherwise it will either be from a breakers yard or a new genuine Renault item. Personally I wouldn't pay £250+ just to make the window work again...

Friend had a similar issue on a Megane Scenic. Auto Electrician said that they were renowned for it and that it needed the genuine renault part as it was "programmed" in to something behind the steering wheel - ECU maybe?

Friend opted for the cheaper option which was to get him to rewire it someway so that the driver window now worked but the passenger one didn't.
