Ford Transit - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Transit MK 7 - Years 2006-2014
Part: Alternator
Operation: Alternator replacement on Ford Transit

On Ford Transit the battery is located behind the driver's seat: disconnect the negative pole, as shown in the video. Open the hood and put on the special support rod. Unscrew the bolt holding the belt in tension and, once loosened, remove it. If you notice it very exhausted I suggest you replace it. Raise the front of the van with a jack and, working from below, unscrew the two lower bolts. Returning to the upper part of the bonnet, unscrew the fastener that holds the alternator in place from the top and finally remove it. Obviously proceed backwards for reassembly.

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.
