Operation: How to top up the coolant on a BMW 3 Series?

To top up the coolant on a BMW 3 Series, follow these steps. Make sure the engine is cool before proceeding. Open the hood and locate the coolant reservoir, usually transparent and located near the engine. Check the coolant level, which should be between the minimum and maximum lines on the reservoir. If the level is low, carefully remove the reservoir cap. Use a clean funnel to add specific BMW coolant, mixed with distilled water in the correct ratio, until it reaches the maximum line. Make sure the reservoir cap is tightly closed to avoid leaks. After adding the coolant, start the engine and let it run for a few minutes to allow the coolant to circulate through the system. Check the coolant level again and add more if necessary to reach the maximum line. Close the hood and make sure it is securely closed. Check the coolant level periodically and top up if necessary to keep your BMW 3 Series engine in excellent condition.

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.
