Video tutorial

In this video, see how to change the gear knob on a Citroen Xsara Picasso: the first step is to pull the gaiter off the gear stick, removing it from the retaining ring. Spray WD-40 on the joint between the knob and the stick to ease its removal.

Allow it to sit for a moment, then pull firmly but gently. For the knob, we recommend the satin code B07PTP8B5H on Amazon for £17.99, delivery included for Prime customers.

The shiny version costs £9.99 with code B09YV2LTJS. Now, simply fit the new knob onto the stick, pull up the gaiter, and secure it in the retaining ring. Operation complete.
