BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Headlight
Operation: How to replace the BMW 3 Series headlights

In this video tutorial we will see the steps that will allow us to disassemble the original headlights and replace them with the "angel eyes" ones of the BMW 3 Series. First of all, we open the bonnet of our car and start unscrewing the fastening screws of the front headlight, which we find both on the back and on the upper part of the same; then we disconnect the electrical connectors from the bulbs and remove the plastic located under the headlight unit as illustrated in the video. At this point let's install the new optical group, applying the reverse procedure for reassembly!

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.
