My retirement visa is due for renewal on 20th March i am currently back in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 maybe wont be back before then. Can i still come back later in year & renew it by paying about 16000 baht for a year or could i do it online before due date or will have to make a trip over to sort this b4 the 20th? . Would it be void after this date ?
Answer summary
When your retirement visa is due for renewal while you are outside Thailand, it cannot be extended from abroad. If your visa expires before you return, you will need to apply for a new NON-O visa from the Thai embassy, starting with a 90-day visa and then applying for the year-long extension upon your return. It's recommended to renew your visa 30-45 days before the expiration; otherwise, you must begin the visa application process anew.

Start again . You could apply for the initial Non-o in the UK BUT they will want £

The answer is in your dumb question, If it expires before you come back it expires, maybe look up the world "expires" in the dictionary

I did this last year due to family bereavement. You have to get a new non imm O e-visa based on retirement. Then when you are back 30 days before the visa expires you apply for your extension

You would likely need to start the renewal in a 30-45 day window prior to expiration. Check with your province.

You can not extend it from outside the country. After it expires just apply at the Thai embassy, as if you were starting over, getting the 90 day visa first, then the year extension after you return to Thailand.

You have to start again with a new Visa application if you miss your Extension of Stay renewal
