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 Bleed the Clutch on a Renault Clio?

To bleed the clutch on a Renault Clio, open the bonnet to access the components located in the engine bay: here, you will need to undo the screws that secure the battery in its housing, the intake manifold, and the coolant reservoir. This will allow you to locate the pipe through which the brake fluid flows: by inserting the other end of the pipe into a container, you can press the clutch pedal to expel all the fluid until it fills the container.
