New discs and pads all round, and it's had a recent fluid change...this is where I believe the problem has occured. These are notorious for getting air trapped in the ABS unit if someone isn't careful with the changing of fluid/bleeding and the resevoir drops below a certain level.
I've bled it a few times now and the pedal still drops to the floor - I need to find a dirt road and trigger the abs a few times and bleed again to see if that cures the problem. People reccomend having it plugged in to the Renault Clip software which can trigger the ABS whilst stationary. So if my last attempt still bears no fruit I'll take it to a pro. Unless you have any tips?
MrBaklava-
Ah, ABS issues. Now am just feeling in the dark, partly from BMW motorbikes abs pump bleeding issues and certain citroens and mercs. Does the car need to super dot4 (dot4+ or 5.1 ESP brake fluid?
How did you replace the brake fluid? Pump out with brake? Easy bleed or draw out with a syringe?
Do you have some where the car sit over night a day with the wheels off and on axel stands? and no one would touch it. As there are a few ways to try, one is pressurising the brake system to force the air out. The length of wood from the seat mount keeping the brake pedal pressed to the pressurising the brake system with an easy bleed. Or my lazy way and use physics.

Now am teaching you to suck eggs, what is the issue? At a guess you've looked at the master cylinder, calipers/sliders any rear load compensator valve? Or just either shitty/glazed pads? Have had luck that some discs improve after being skimmed on the car, if there is enough material left on the disc, then new pads. But then I have cleaned disc with a wire brush cup, and had some luck.
