BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Tail light
Operation: Rear light disassembly instructions

Removing the rear light is very simple but it is necessary to remove some elements inside the luggage compartment to access the fixing of the light itself; therefore open the rear lid, remove the cover from the luggage rack support surface and then the plastic shelf which also acts as an object compartment; then move the side carpeted cover to access the headlight fixing nut and unscrew it to be able to release the headlight and extract it from its seat away enough to unhook the power socket and complete the disassembly.

    • 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.
