Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Handle
Operation: Change the door handle

Changing a door handle may seem complicated but is actually simpler than it looks once you have bought the replacement part. It is not allowed to install handles with automatic locking because they are also designed for the safety of the passengers and, in the event of an accident, they must allow them to get out. To remove the old handle, just unscrew the screws that keep it fixed to the internal plastic cover of the door, taking care to remove all the fixing screws. Remove the screws, remove the door cover and unscrew the internal screws that hold the handle block so that it can be removed.

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.
