BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Interior lights ceiling light bulb
Operation: LED interior ceiling lights replacement

Choose the new replacement bulb identical to the one to be replaced. Disassemble the ceiling light to access the lamp holder by simply levering the outer edge with a plastic tool and removing the connector. Turn the knob on the back by ¼ of a turn to remove the faulty LED bulb and refit the new bulb. If installed the new lamp does not light up, make sure you have rotated and fixed the lamp correctly in the holder. Refit the ceiling light in its housing. The same operation can also be carried out on the other internal ceiling lights where however, in this case, a LED bulb is mounted in the ceiling light instead of the old torpedo bulbs, in any case the two lamps are perfectly interchangeable without problems. Disassemble the ceiling light cover to access the bulb holder, remove the faulty bulb and refit the new bulb. In the case of led type bulbs it is important to install them with the correct polarity. If installed the new lamp does not light up, rotate the lamp 180 degrees and reinstall 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.
