Operation: How to replace the battery in the key of a BMW 3 Series

Before we can start, we will have to go to disengage and extract the emergency key of the electric key of our BMW 3 Series, simply by pressing the relative release button. So let's start by disengaging and removing the battery cover, using a large slotted screwdriver and prying. By doing so, we will have reached the spent key battery. We then proceed by going to extract the battery from its housing, and we will have concluded the disassembly. To mount the new battery we will only have to follow these steps in reverse, and we will have finished our replacement.

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.
