Citroen C3 - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen C3 FN, FC - Years 2002-2009
Part: Key
Operation: How to replace the key shells of the Citroen C3

If the buttons on the key cover are damaged, it is possible to replace the cover itself by purchasing it from the after market without having to replace the entire key; it is therefore necessary to lever in the joint gap between the two shells to be able to separate them: in this regard it is suggested to use only the cover with the keys, thus moving only the electronic circuit to avoid having to disassemble the key; however, if you also want to move the key blade to the other half of the shell, you will have to release the spring mechanism, taking care to preload the spring itself during the assembly phase.

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.
