BMW Serie 3 - Video tutorial

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Handle
Operation: The door does not open from inside the BMW E46: How to fix it?

If the internal door handle of our BMW E46 is faulty, it probably means that the connection cable that requires it to work has deteriorated or, much more simply, has become disconnected. How to act? The cover supporting the door structure must be removed; at this point, having noticed that the cable is disconnected, just put it back in the section appropriate to it and which coincides with the handle (with the cover installed). Assembly is very simple as it takes place thanks to the interlocking technique. To finish it is necessary to close the lid and fix it as it was previously.

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.
