Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to temporarily open the rear tailgate of a Citroen C3 Pluriel.

Let's see how to open the rear hood of a Citroen C3 Pluriel in temporary mode: Apply two straps with small hooks to the pistons from the inside. To access these, remove the plastic cover that covers them on the upper part of the rear tailgate. Two small holes will need to be made in the cover to pass these straps through. Of course, this is not a permanent solution, but if we find ourselves in need, it is an empirical system to solve an emergency. The permanent solution is to repair or replace the lifting motor. However, the YouTuber also advises keeping this safety measure for an uncertain future.

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.
