How to Replace the Windshield Wiper Relay on a BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Fuse box

To replace the windshield wiper relay on a BMW 3 Series, open the hood to access the fuse box located just below the windshield. To open it, unscrew its mounting screws: it contains 4 relays and 5 fuses. The wiper fuse is the one located at the top right and is usually yellow. This can then be disconnected and replaced with a new replacement part; the new relay should be inserted to ensure that the wipers function correctly.

How to Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
