Operation: How to replace the instrument panel lights of the BMW 3 Series

This short guide will show us how to disassemble and replace the bulbs of the instrument panel of the BMW 3 Series, following the instructions below. First, we get inside the cabin and start disassembling and removing the instrument panel; to do this, simply unscrew the fastening screws found on the top, then disconnect the electrical connector located on the back, as shown in the video. At this point, we remove the plastic cover to access the electronic board and the lights of the instrument panel, replacing the bulb bulbs with the new ones!

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.
