How to Remove the Interior Rearview Mirror

Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Rearview mirror

To remove the interior rearview mirror, you will need a metal hook to perform the operation. First, remove the plastic tab located at the driver's position. Next, disconnect the wires and detach them. Now, gently unscrew the mirror counterclockwise and detach it. To install a new mirror, simply reattach it in the reverse order of removal, then reconnect the wires and snap the previously removed plastic cover back in place. A BMW Series 5 is mentioned in the video.

How to Remove the Diesel Filter from a Peugeot 207

Lift the bonnet; remove the soundproofing panel from the engine and locate the diesel filter (as shown in the video). Using a socket wrench, unscrew the bolts (a spanner can also be used) near the container where the diesel filter is located. Once the filter is removed, disconnect the circulation hoses and take it out of the vehicle (replace it with a new filter). Finally, refit the filter to the attached container of the diesel filter (connect the hoses and wires) and tighten the appropriate bolts. Close the bonnet afterwards.
