BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Window lift button
Operation: Removing and replacing the window switch button.

After removing the entire key block for the car window, we remove the key to be replaced. To do this, we unlock, on the sides of the lock in correspondence with the key itself, the interlocking mechanism with a screwdriver. We take the new button and place it in the same housing, in the same position as the previous one, making sure to fit it always using the screwdriver to fix the side clips that allow you to fix it to the block. The car on which the maintenance operation seen in the images is carried out is carried out on a BMW 3 Series.

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.
