I did indeed. Though i haven't condemned it yet Initially on fitting it seemed to have the incorrect software and wouldn't work with the car. I have since pulled the data from it and re flashed the correct "RS" data to it, I just need a dry few days and some spare time to try it. so could...

I actually thought of doings similar if mine started to slip, one on top and one on the bottom, to clean/flush it all out with brake cleaner

fit 172 injectors and get a map at efi parts (y)

great bit of kit, very dangerous if you get it wrong though. id be tempted to swap just the tcu to start with on your original box, rather than going mad with the whole hog. Reno link will allow you to recalibrate it. Really no need if you cant feel or see the clutch slip (if it was even there...

the check antipollution error is related to so many things. Did you get a proper in depth diagnosis before hand? also the diag can tell you the thickness of your current clutch disks. Thickness is also only part of the issue, if one is contaminated it can also slip but still be full thickness...

i see it, fiesta on compomotives?

So I did a thing, well a few things tbh. As the discs were showing wear I opted to get myself some directional Alpine/Renaultsport bi material discs. They can sit there for a while, will prob slap them on before the track day in March. I also decided to try some new wheels. Id been playing...

I think its a failure on the pcb itself, the gears are very robust, and don't have any resistance. Also the gears that do the shifting in the box have very little too when you move them by hand. I think there maybe multiple failure modes, the capacitor swap didn't work for me but has for others...

Got some new pressed ali plates for the 8, the old ones were a bit faded and battered. New ones are thinner and flimsier than the originals but they will do (y) Need some brighter/warmer morning so I can use it for the commute. In other news ive had notification of postage of the custom gaz...

The daily driver keeps on plodding, just realised id have owned it 3 years this year (come July so still half a year off), and for me, that's a very long time. Decided to get the wheel off and check over the suspension. Have had an occasional, very slight sound of a failed top mount bearing...
