BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Side indicator light
Operation: Disassembly / replacement of the front indicator

The turn signal light of the BMW 3 series is built in such a way that it can be removed quickly and without special tools. In fact, the taillight is applied by pressure and is held in place with a simple plastic tab. To release the tab, just insert a screwdriver into the oval hole on the upper part of the mudguard and exert slight pressure until you hear the taillight release. To remove the bulb, rotate the holder ninety degrees counterclockwise. Now that you have removed the taillight, you can take the opportunity to clean the edge of the bodywork where dirt accumulates that is never removed with normal washing. To disassemble everything, just proceed in the reverse order.

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.
