Fiat Punto - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Punto 176, MK 1 - Years 1993-1999
Part: Bodywork
Operation: How to fit hydraulic hood pistons

The video shows how to intervene on the opening of the engine compartment with a simple installation of two hydraulic pistons, which give the bonnet greater opening fluidity and more space to be able to intervene with mechanical work on the engine if necessary. The installation consists in fixing, by means of screws and washers, one end of the piston to the bodywork and the other to the bonnet and repeating the same operation on the other side of the car. The video refers to the first edition Fiat Punto model. The tools used are: an Allen key and a wrench (compatible with the chosen screws).

How do I replace the Land Rover Evoque auxiliary battery?

In order to replace the auxiliary battery of the Land Rover Evoque, it is necessary to go inside the passenger compartment and remove the panel which is positioned immediately under the glovebox. Once the screws that secure this panel have been loosened, it will be possible to access the components located in its rear part, including the auxiliary battery. The latter must be disconnected from its cables and the fixing screws must be loosened. The battery can then be replaced with a new one and the panel can be fixed again with its screws.
