Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Bodywork
Operation: Hood replacement on Ford Focus Mk3

Raise the hood and put on the support batten. On the right side of the vehicle, the hood has two internal clips that you need to remove with a small flat screwdriver. Another clip at the bottom of the hood is located centrally. Once all three have been removed, you must disconnect the cable located near the windshield, as shown in the video. On each side the hood is fixed by a bracket and two bolts, unscrew them with a socket wrench paying attention to the possible fall of the hood: I therefore recommend that you be accompanied in this operation, so that the colleague can support the hood during the work. Lower the support batten and remove the hood.

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.
