Part: Headlight
Operation: How to remove the headlight of a BMW 3 Series

Let's see how to remove the headlight on BMW 3 Series. Open the bonnet by pulling the hood opening lever and put it in safety. We unscrew the pins of the front bumper; we remove the bumper from the vehicle. We unscrew the locking pins on the headlight bar with a socket wrench. At this point we will find other pins in the lower part of the lighthouse, let's unscrew them from the metal plates. We detach the lamp holders from the headlight and extract the same from the car body. We assemble the new headlight with the new bulbs if damaged and (always suitable type and size) we insert the headlight in its housing. Finally we tighten the pins of the headlight with the socket wrench and mount the bumper. We test the correct functioning of the lights.

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.
