BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Door
Operation: How to replace the door of your car

As an alternative to the body shop, if we have to replace the door of our car we can do it yourself. To replace the car door, let's go to a junkyard, with the model and series of the vehicle. We check the good condition of the part and conclude the deal. Next, we disassemble the damaged door, remove the plastic parts from the inside. We also remove the rearview mirror with any electrical connections. We disconnect the glasses and the centralized locks from the junction boxes. At this point, we unscrew the door hinges. We act vigorously with particular attention not to "smudge" the head of the fixing bolts.

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.
