Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Lock
Operation: How to change the door lock of a Citroen C3

Change the lock of the Citroen C3? Let's see how to remove the cylinder from inside the door. Unscrew the screws on the side of the door, remove the handle cover on the right of the door with a plastic lever (if present). If we have difficulty we remove the panel. We extract the lock from the door, then, remove the handle from the sheet of the car, compare it with the new handle and get ready for assembly. We insert the handle with the new lock into the door. We test the correct assembly and operation of the lock with the opening key. We screw the side screws of the lock.

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.
