BMW Serie 7 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 7 MK 3, E38 - Years 1994-2001
Part: Door panel
Operation: Door panel replacement on BMW 7 Series

Remove the small screw cover present near the opening handle and unscrew the torx t20 now uncovered. In the lower part of the door there is a light bulb: remove the cover by prying it with a small flat screwdriver or with a plastic wedge, then remove the casing in the same way and disconnect the connector. At this point you can start to pry the whole surrounding area, paying attention to the chromed parts (for this it is better that the wedge is made of plastic). Carry out this operation with patience by unhooking the panel a little at a time, then disconnect the connectors and the lock cable.

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!
