How to adjust the handbrake of a BMW car

Model: BMW BMW Various
Part: Parking brake

How do you adjust the handbrake of a BMW car? We see it in this video: first of all, we need to lift the leather cover of the handbrake, in order to discover the mechanism: underneath we see two screws, which we will adjust using a 12 mm tubular extension, like the one shown by the youtuber, and then we use a ratchet wrench to turn the nut: of course, we must do the operation on both nuts on the sides of the handbrake lever. We tighten it just enough to pull up the lever to the third/fourth notch, which are considered optimal for the adjustment to be successful. We put the cover back in place, and it's done.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
