Citroen C5 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C5 RD, MK 2, X7 - Years 2008-2017
Part: Gearshift gaiter
Operation: Replacement gaiter-cover gear knob on Citroen C5

In today's video tutorial we will see how to remove and replace the headset or the gearbox cover on a second series Citroen C5, in simple steps. First we get on board the car and we go to lever on the sides of the gearshift gaiter, perhaps using something thin and pointed, in order to unhook it from the sides; then, once removed, we are going to detach the clamp that holds the headset fixed to the gear knob, as shown in the video. At this point we insert the new cap and block it by putting a new clamp; we just have to insert it in its seat and hook it!

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.
