BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Starter motor
Operation: Replacing the starter motor on BMW 3

Let's see the replacement of the starter motor of a BMW 3 Series. We lift the front hood and put it in safety. We disassemble the starter motor protections (covers etc), disconnect the power supply terminals to the battery and the terminals connected to the starter motor with a pliers or screwdriver depending on the pressure of the tabs, unscrew the tightening pins of the starter motor and remove the same from the engine compartment. We assemble the new ignition motor with the connection of the power supply cables and with the attached tightening screws. We test the new starter motor.

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.
