Let's see today, in this short and simple guide, how to disassemble and replace the dashboard instrument cluster of the BMW 3 Series. First of all, we get on board the car, on the driver's side, and begin to remove the emblem of the steering wheel manufacturer; then we unscrew the screw that we find on the hole, in order to remove the steering wheel, as shown in the video. At this point we are going to remove the lower plastic of the instrument panel, unscrewing all the screws that we find on the sides; we disconnect the electrical connector on the back to remove it and replace it with the new one, reassembling everything!

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.
