I thought I'd have a go at fixing...
This is what it looks like inside
It's fiddly and I wouldn't know where to start going about fixing it! Doubt it's worth trying when a new one's a tenner.
I've just bought a new one for £10.40 from "all4cars" on eBay...
I could put a guide up on how to replace if there isn't one already, but it's very easy.

Thanks people for your help! Its rather annoying, I think unplugging it sounds like a better idea than tape! 
Pendulum if you could put a thread or even a few pics of where to start I would be very greatful please! Thanks a lot!
Also do you think ebays a better option than Renault directly? They going to try and charge me £30 for it?

Ok
Get a small flat bladed screwdriver and a bit of cloth or a rag.
Put the cloth or rag over the tip of the screwdriver to avoid marking the trim
Insert the screwdriver into the top of the panel and then prise it out like so (using the fingers of your other hand to help):
Now pull the panel outwards...
Turn the panel so that the triangle button faces the roof of the car to get at the connector.
Press and hold the tab on the connector down (in the below picture my thumb is on the tab holding it down) and then pull the plug apart from the switch
Feed the now disconnected switch through the front to remove it:
Now on eBay there are some sellers selling the switch plus the triangle plate, and others just selling the switch and you need to re-use your old triangle plate. If you need to reuse your old triangle plate, just pull it off the old switch by hand:
Then you can just push it on the new switch.
To fit the new switch just feed it through the fascia plate, connect it up at the back, and press the panel (that you prised off with the screwdriver) back in to place
Easy

As long as you don't damage the paint on the side of the switch when you prise it off! I actually started off the way you did, but noticed the paint is easily scratched, and if you scratch that paint then the red light shines through it and you really notice! Check out the picture second from last (towards left) and you can see a bit of red on the triangle where the paint came off where the screwdriver was... that's why removing the panel is better IMO!
Scratching the triangle only matters if you're buying a switch without the triangle of course. If you don't need to reuse your own then it doesn't matter.

No need to remove panel, switch just pops out, unplug and replace.
I had this problem but replacing the switch has not solved the issue. Was okay at first but a few hours later constant flashing and pressing the switch on and off has no effect.
Have disconnected for now but my MOT is due next week.
Any suggestions pls?
Seem to remember reading about the alarm could be the problem but haven't found that particular thread yet.

Hi Gambler.
Did you ever get to the bottom of this problem?
My car has started flashing the hazards and won’t stop even if the switch is disconnected. At the moment it is parked and I have disconnected the battery as the current fix.
Many thanks
Ian
Sorry Ian, my car has been sat abandoned on my driveway for the past 3.5 years.
Think it passed the MOT at the time though!
In case you ever decide to resurrect your car I did find the problem. It’s the alarm unit.
You can unplug it you need to remove the wiper blade arms, remove the scuttle panel, remove the three bolts that hold the wiper motor and arm mechanism in place, then you can get to the alarm. There are 4 small screws on the top of it, remove them and you will reach the connector. Pull upwards to remove it. I took the whole unit out as it was a bit more weight saved for something that was causing me grief.
