Alfa Romeo Alfa Romeo Spider - Video tutorial

Model: Alfa Romeo Alfa Romeo Spider MK 1 - Years 1995-2006
Part: Dashboard
Operation: How to repair the dashboard of the Alfa Spider

With the help of this short video tutorial, we will explain step by step how easy it is to restore the dashboard of your Alfa Romeo Spider. First, using a utility knife, we dig deeper into the cracks to open them up, removing the most fragile parts. Now, using a milling machine, we further widen the cracks to create a V shape, allowing us to fill it with putty later on. Once the empty spaces are created, we can proceed to filling them. Fill the central parts first to compensate for the void with putty, then fill the sides with expanding foam and finally level it out. Apply another layer of putty, let it dry, level it again, and finally paint it.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
