In this video, learn how to change the engine mount on a Citroen C3: first, obtain the replacement part, which can be found on Amazon using code B0068MWCEG for £21.28 with free delivery for Prime customers. First, lift the vehicle, as the mount is located underneath.

Once the part is located, undo the first bolt with a 16 mm spanner; the second also has a nut, which you will remove before pulling out the worn mount. Place the new one in position, inserting the bolt at the front and the nut at the back to secure everything.

Also, replace the ball joint of the wishbone. This can be found on eBay using code 254469937675 for £25.99 plus £9.99 shipping.

Here, you will need to remove the right rear wheel. A 17 mm socket will be required to remove the bolt head.

Using a pry bar, lever down on the ball joint - perhaps with a bit of WD-40 for assistance. Remove the bolts from the joint.

Replace the old ball joint with the new one, which comes with three hex head bolts that you will fit in place. Reinsert the bolt into the joint and the job is done.

Refit the wheel and lower the vehicle.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space.

Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat. Be careful of any electrical cables or components that may be connected to the seat during removal. Once the rear seat is removed, the disassembly is complete.
