BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Seat
Operation: How do you replace the seat cables on the BMW 3 Series?

In order to replace the cables that allow you to recline the seat of the BMW 3 Series, you need to loosen all the bolts that secure the seat at the bottom, so that it can be removed from the passenger compartment. In this way, it will be possible to unscrew the screws located at the base of the backrest and remove the levers on the sides of the backrest itself. In this way, it will be possible to detach the cover of the rear part of the backrest, in order to access the underlying components, including the aforementioned cables. These can then be extracted from inside the seat and replaced with new spare parts.

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.
