Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to check the engine oil level in the BMW 1 Series?

In this video, we can see how to check the engine oil level in the BMW 1 Series, a very simple and quick operation. In this vehicle, there is no dipstick in the engine compartment, but it is possible to check the level using the onboard instrumentation. First, we go inside the cabin, then start the engine and, using the directional arrows on the left control lever, we reach the screen related to the oil. Then, we press the "BC" button and check the level on the appropriate bar. If the bar is empty, we repeat the operation after the engine has warmed up enough.

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.
