Citroen Xsara Picasso - Video tutorial

Model: Citroen Xsara Picasso MK 1 - Years 1999-2012
Part: Gear Shift Knob
Operation: How do you replace the gear knob of the Citroën Xsara Picasso?

In order to replace the gear knob of the Citroën Xsara Picasso, you need to pry it off with an object so that you can detach the hooks located at the bottom of the leather cover that wraps the lever. Once this is lifted, you can remove the hook that connects it to the knob, so that the latter can be detached from its lever along with the boot. After these two components have been removed, you can insert the new boot around the lever and then the knob, securing it properly and ensuring that everything works correctly.

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.
