i dont have a clue about renaults but just because it works on rovers doesent mean it will work on a renault,a lot of modern ECU's contain some of the cars imobiliser circutry which is coded to the car which means you cant swap ECU's between different cars unless they can be re-programed.like is say though i cant say for sure about renaults,but id get a garuntee from the breaker that it will be compatable first.
