BMW X5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW X5 E53 - Years 1999-2006
Part: Window lift switch
Operation: Replacement of window lifter control panel

Use a plastic lever for coachbuilders (or a small fixed screwdriver with the tip coated with insulating tape) to release the push button panel with the window lifter and door mirror adjustment controls. Once the push-button panel has been unhooked (taking care not to damage the leather covering of the door panel) disconnect the sockets connected to it by first extracting the safety catches. Then connect the sockets to the new push-button panel (hooking the relative safety devices), check the correct operation of all the controls and finally reposition it in its seat by hooking it correctly.

Disassembly of the gear knob on the Lancia Ypsilon 2

Today we will see, in this video tutorial, how to remove and replace the gear knob on the second series Lancia Ypsilon, but also on the Lancia Musa, in simple and quick steps. We get inside the car and start by removing the old gear knob; to do this, just unscrew it anticlockwise, as shown in the video. At this point we also remove the gearshift gaiter, in order to replace, if necessary, it too; we just have to fix the new headset and insert the new gear knob, screwing it correctly and without creating play on the gear lever!
