BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: How do you replace the exterior mirror on the BMW 3 Series?

In order to replace the BMW 3 Series exterior rearview mirror, the molding along the entire panel must be removed, so that the door panel can be completely removed. This will then allow you to remove the internal panel by disconnecting all the connectors below, including the one connected to the mirror. Therefore, by unscrewing the bolts in correspondence with the mirror, it will be possible to remove the latter from the outside so that it can be replaced with a new one. After installation, you will be able to mount all removed components.

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.
