To replace the gear knob on a 2016 Ford KA, start by removing the centre console: simply pull it upwards to detach it. Disconnect the electrical connectors (if present). If the leather gaiter is still attached to the console, separate it; in the video, it came off on its own. The most delicate part is removing the plastic clip that secures the knob to the lever.

Use a flathead screwdriver to lift the teeth of the clip and turn it until it comes off. The clip often gets damaged, so it's advisable to have a new replacement on hand. You can find the new knob on Amazon with the code B0H3L5WSSZ for £16.90 with free delivery.

Install the new knob onto the gaiter: if it is not secure, fasten it with an additional plastic clip. Refit the centre console and reconnect the connectors.

The job is simple but requires attention to the clips.

To remove the rear seat of a Hyundai Tucson, follow these steps. Start by moving the front seats to their most forward position to gain space. Next, locate the release lever on the underside of the rear seat, near the floor. Press this lever down while pulling the seat upwards to unlock it from the anchor pins. Once unlocked, tilt the seat upwards and forwards to remove it from its position. Repeat this process for both sides of the rear seat.
