BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Instrument cluster
Operation: How to remove the instrument cluster of a BMW 3 Series

Before we can begin, we will have to go and sit in the driver's seat of our BMW 3 Series. Using a Torx screwdriver, let's start by unscrewing the screws that secure the instrument cluster to the dashboard. Once we have removed both Torx screws, we will have freed the instrumentation from the dashboard. Next, we will have to go to extract the dashboard. When we have extracted the instrument panel from the dashboard, we will have reached the cables and the rear electrical plugs, which we will have to go to disconnect. At this point, we can definitively remove the instrument panel, and we will have finished the disassembly.

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.
