Model: BMW Serie 5 E39 - Years 1995-2003
Part: Wheel
Operation: How to wash and polish a chrome rim

If you want to make a chrome rim shine again you have to arm yourself with a lot of patience and above all elbow grease; the right products will certainly be indispensable but what is really needed is to take care to apply them with meticulous patience and skill; start by rinsing the rim with plain water to remove the most superficial dirt; then spray a special rim washer using a brush to allow it to act in depth and then rinse (repeat the operation if necessary); at this point polishing begins with the special pastes for chromed surfaces: in fact, there is some soaked cotton that must be passed over the entire surface, wait for it to oxidize and then remove with a soft cloth (the signs of rust will also disappear); after cleaning, the final touch will be given with a polishing wax.

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.
