How to temporarily repair the front seat of a Citroen C4

Model: Citroen C4 MK 1 - Years 2004-2010
Part: Seat

This video teaches us how to temporarily repair the front seat of a Citroen C4, where the head of the seat lowering mechanism is broken. The youtuber reminds us with common sense that in case of an accident, DIY repairs are heavily penalized by insurance companies, so it must be a temporary solution. However, you just need to attach the broken head to the hook with a wire; we will start by disassembling the head of the seat, unscrewing it, then we bend a piece of wire and shape it into a hook, then with pliers we grab the broken steel wire, wrap the wire around the head of the steel wire coming from inside the seat, pass the wire through the top of the lowering mechanism, and tighten it around the locking cylinder. Put the cover back in place by tightening the screw.

How to Open the Bonnet on the Lancia Y

To open the bonnet on this vehicle, follow these simple instructions: first, open the driver's door and locate the lever positioned just below the dashboard, marked with an image of the vehicle with the bonnet open. Pull this lever towards you until you hear a "click" indicating the bonnet is released. Next, exit the cabin and stand in front of the bonnet to disengage the safety catch and complete the opening. To do this, slightly lift the bonnet, locate the yellow lever underneath, and pull it to the left to fully release and open the bonnet.
