BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Handle
Operation: Removing the front door handle

If the front door handle has to be removed, it is not necessary to remove the door panel: it is in fact sufficient to move the rubber of the upright gasket to access the seat of the screw that fixes the handle lock and extract the lock itself; at this point, pull the handle and from the same hole as the lock pin insert a torx screwdriver to unscrew the fixing screw of the handle to be able to complete the disassembly; proceed in reverse for installation, taking care to secure the handle with the appropriate screw and then the lock by correctly housing the underlying gasket.

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.
