BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Lock
Operation: How do you replace the rear door lock on the BMW 3 Series?

In order to replace the lock of the rear door of the BMW 3 Series, it is necessary to lift the tailgate and remove the internal cover to access the parts underneath. Once the cover has been removed, it is possible to loosen the screws that secure the lock and disconnect the cables from the holes located near the pistons that allow the tailgate to be lifted. Once the old lock and its cables have been removed, it will be possible to connect new cables to the relevant contacts, pass them inside the door and connect them to the new lock, which must be properly fixed.

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.
