BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Tail light
Operation: Removing the rear light and reverse light

For the replacement it is necessary to have the new version of the headlight. For the replacement operation, screwdrivers and a ratchet wrench are required. Open the luggage compartment and remove the light by disconnecting it from the power cable. Remove the three fixing screws of the headlight located inside the luggage compartment and remove it from its seat by disconnecting the electrical wiring. Refit the new headlight and reconnect the electrical wiring. Remove with a screwdriver the plastic plugs of the tailgate cover just enough to allow access to the lights. Remove the fixing screws of the light and remove it from its housing. Reposition the new light and reconnect it.

    • Serie 3 1990-2001 - How do you remove the brake light switch on the BMW 3 Series E36? Read Answer

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.
