Replacing the Gear Lever on a Fiat Panda

Model: Fiat Panda 169, MK 2 - Years 2003-2012
Part: Transmission

In this case, we have illustrated with a Fiat Panda, but replacing the gear lever is a similar procedure on almost all cars and is quite simple. The top part of the knob comes off easily by pulling it. Also, remove any spring and other plastic parts present (the Panda knob has both a spring and another internal plastic part). For the gaiter, the process is the same: just pull it off with your fingers! Lift it off the gear lever. Fit the new gaiter onto the old knob and slot everything back into place, ensuring the plastic clips align with their respective slots.

How to Check the Oil Level on a Jeep Renegade?

To check the oil level on a Jeep Renegade, you need to open the bonnet to access the components inside the engine bay: on the lower left side of the engine block, you will find the dipstick for checking the level. This should be pulled out and thoroughly cleaned with a cloth: once cleaned, reinsert it back into its tube and pull it out immediately after. This way, you can check that the oil mark is between the minimum and maximum levels; finally, you can place the dipstick back in its tube.
