From what you say, it could simply be wiring, but it could also be a more serious problem like a module which is not working any more.

No I don't think that the oil level light would stop the engine from running - at least not from cranking. The solution to that would be to remove the connector to the oil level sensor as it should really be able to run without it.

I bought my Espace as a crash write-off and had it rebuilt. When it was ready to run it had to go to Renault to figure out why it wouldn't start.

It turned out to be a problem with the windscreen wiper circuit, so although the oil warning system seems a bit unlikely I wouldn't discount it yet! 

I wonder if the system detects any unusual power demand before allowing start to take place?

Take a look at the section covering the immobilizer in the extract from the Renault service manual that can be found in Lennart's "Vault"

http://www.matrasport.dk/vault/Espace/JE/3441A.pdf

It provides plenty of information about re-programming etc.

right lads ive been speaking to a fella that said if im getting coms to and from the ecu that it s not that and that he has had to change in the past 5 ecn wiring looms he said people adjust the sterring height and the loom is so short that it buggers it up so if i refitthe loom under colum more than likely this is the fault,does this seem feesable to you guys?

What is a "bii unit"?

Is that the computer in the passenger compartment?

P/n sounds like a Renault p/n, though one of those specific to the Espace.
