Bit of an odd one

There won't be. The UCH controls the windows, locking, lights etc. nothing to do with engine management. (Or nothing that would show up with a fault reader)
The last one I replaced I bought from Renault Wolverhampton on here, for under £150 and paid a mate at Renault £20 to code it. Certainly not the end of the world.
Have you tried (with the ignition off!) to wiggle/disconnect/reconnect all of the wires to the UCH? Sometimes the plugs get damp and the copper connectors go green and corrode.
Alternatively, you could buy a secondhand UCH, ECU, key, lock set etc (for around £100) and fit it all yourself,
The other option of course is to just ignore it. I sold one with the same fault (and told the seller!) over two years ago and the car is still going strong. Being abused as a track car in Germany.

Well I've just spoke to a guy with a clip and other Renault tech he said buy a new one bring car down take it all out and install new one while there and he will code it for me.
Correct me if I'm wrong it's located behind glove box ain't it and it's an easy job to take out plus if I disconnect it and clean up do I need to disconnect the bat first or any think never done one before.

Don't think you need the clocks, but you might have to change the ignition barrel?

You don't need clocks no.
If you go secondhand, you need ecu, uch, decoder ring (ignition barrel) and you can just swap your key blade over.
If I was you, if it's a nice car and only done 42k, I'd fit new.
It's up under the glovebox, black box. From memory it's only a 10mm bolt and a fair bit of wiggling to get it out.
