Part: Handle
Operation: How do you replace the external handle of the BMW 3 Series?

In order to replace the external handle of the BMW 3 Series, you need to first remove the door panel, accessing the components underneath it: the screws that fix the panel are located in the seat of the internal handle and under the armrest. Once the panel has been removed, it will be possible to unscrew the screws on the side of the door, so that the internal mechanism of the handle can be released: this will allow the handle to be detached from the outside of the door, replacing it with a new one. After the replacement, all previously removed components can be reassembled.

How do you adjust the clutch cable on the Kia Picanto?

To be able to adjust the clutch cable of the Kia Picanto you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components inside the engine compartment: in order to reach the cable you will need to remove some components on the right side, such as the battery and the air filter. Below them you will find the clutch cable, which will have to be adjusted by screwing or loosening the bolt placed at the end of the cable. This will make the pedal harder or softer; after the adjustment, it will be possible to assemble all the components by closing the hood.
