How do you quickly replace the starter motor in a Ford Focus?

Model: Ford Focus MK 4 - Years 2018-2025
Part: Starter motor

To replace the starter motor on a Ford Focus, start by lifting the hood and disconnecting the battery to avoid short circuits. Then, locate the starter motor: it is usually found near the engine, between the engine block and the transmission. Once located, remove the cables from its back, starting with the battery cable and the solenoid. By unscrewing the screws that secure the starter motor, you will be able to extract it. Finally, take the new starter motor and secure it in the same position, reconnecting the cables and tightening the screws. Reconnect the battery, start the engine to test the new part. Clearly, if you do not feel comfortable working on it yourself, contact a professional workshop.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
