BMW Serie 5 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 5 E34 - Years 1988-1995
Part: Door
Operation: How to open the door when the battery is low

This useful video shows us how to solve a major problem, that is, how to open the door of our car if the battery is totally discharged and therefore if the central locking does not work. The procedure is not really complicated at all, you have to lift the door handle and at the same time turn the key in the lock clockwise until the door opens completely. The procedure described is valid only for the BMW E32 and E34 shown in the video, other cars follow different procedures or even open without problems just by turning the key.

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.
