Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Bodywork
Operation: Fender Replacement Guide

The mudguard is an important part of the car because it protects it from dust, stones, mud, etc. It is usually better to replace it than to have it repaired, because the risk is that the repair will cost more than a replacement. To gain access to the fender, the fender must first be removed, using a jack to lift the car. The bumper must be removed by removing all the bolts that keep it anchored to the frame. Once the bumper has been removed, the mudguard can be removed with a suitable wrench for removing the bolts. Fitting the new mudguard is an operation that requires extreme precision.

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.
