BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Seat
Operation: How to replace the seat cable in the BMW 3 Series?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the seat cable in the BMW 3 Series, a very simple and quick operation. To do this, it will not be necessary to completely dismantle the seat, but we can work directly from inside the car. First of all, let's remove the headrest, then unscrew the screws located on the lower side of the seat and remove the entire cover. Next, let's locate the cable in question, detach both ends, and also remove the lower joint. If we have an original replacement, it will be sufficient to attach it and reassemble everything. In the case of a generic cable, we will instead need to measure the correct length and solder the two fixing pins to the ends.

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.
