Fiat Ducato - Video tutorial

Model: Fiat Ducato X250 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Wheel
Operation: Specific tips for the tires of Fiat Ducato motorhome.

In this video, we will see specific advice on tires for caravans: summer tires need chains in the winter; all-season tires are recognized by the M+S (mud+snow) marking; if the tire also has the mountain with 3 peaks and the snowflake (3PMFS) then it is a winter tire. The important thing is to know how the camper is used: if it is only used in summer, then a summer tire is more than enough. If you also use it in winter to go on snow, then a double set of tires for switching to winter tires will be necessary. But let's see specifically what all the numbers on tires indicate; for example, the "CP" code indicates that the tire has been specifically designed for campers, which are not made by all manufacturers, and are summer tires. The first measurement indicates the tread width, the second measurement is the shoulder width, the R indicates the radius expressed in inches, the DOT indicates the production date, week and year of production, very important on a camper, where the tire ages before the tread wears out. Another very important thing is the pressure: a camper is always fully loaded, so the tires are always under stress. Balancing inside the camper is very important, so as not to put more strain on one tire than another.

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.
