BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Grille
Operation: Replacing the old grids

The video shows a simple guide on how to remove the old grills of a BMW 3-Series and how to fit the new ones. After opening the front hood, push the grille from the rear with one hand and remove the clips that keep it attached to the body. Once both grills have been removed, it is better to clean the edges of the bodywork where the new grids will be placed with a rag. Now you can insert the new grids. It is necessary to place the first grille in the correct position in its seat making it adhere delicately, after which it is necessary to exert a little pressure with the hands to hook it to the bodywork. You will hear a double "clack" when snapping the clips. Repeat the same operation for the second grid as well. The process won't take you more than five minutes!

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.
