Renault Megan scenic parking brake issue

[MysteryLemon]

I'm after a bit of help really from anyone with some knowledge of these cars and this fault.

Sadly, we own one of these cheese mobiles and after only 2 months ownership, it's thrown up possibly the most expensive fault of all... The electronic parking brake has failed.

Totally out of the blue, working perfectly yesterday but my misses pulled off the drive (it disengaged fine) and the error appeared on the dash and the handbrake will no longer engage. There is no noise from the motor, it just appears dead.

I've googled and none of the results suggest anything diy that I can really do or even look at... Just stories of £750 repair bills from renault and faults that never go away...

I've tried one suggestion that was to reset the system but it does nothing. I've also checked every fuse I can find although I don't know if I've missed any as renault seem to have taken it upon themselves to make them as inaccessible as possible. They even say so in the manual and suggest you visit a dealer rather than checking the fuses yourself... Bloody cheese monkeys...

So, is there actually anything I can do about this myself or am I really looking at a £750 repair bill? I hope fking not... It's the most depressing, uncomfortable, hateful pile of st I've ever driven... but the misses loves it, hence why we own it... I really do not want to throw that sort of money at fixing a fking hand brake!

Any help appreciated!

According to jsut about everything on google, there is never a fault code when they fail. Just the dash going haywire and the handbrake not working...
