BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Lock
Operation: How to remove the lock cylinder on the BMW 3 Series E46

In this short and simple video we will see the steps that will allow us to remove and, if necessary, replace the front door lock on the BMW 3 Series E46. First of all we open the front door and start by removing the plastic cap that we find on the side, near the lock cylinder; then we use a torx wrench to unscrew the fixing screw that we find inside, as shown in the video. At this point we can extract the lock cylinder from the outside; for reassembly just apply the reverse procedure!

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.
