Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Key
Operation: Car key lock replacement

The following guide shows you how to change the car's lock cylinder if it is defective, which prevents the key from turning correctly. To change the lock, you will need to disassemble the cylinders, the connections to the central block, the external handle, the glass, the window frame and the internal lining of the door, operations that require time and experience. Subsequently, the locking screws must also be removed and the malfunctioning piece replaced with the new one purchased and then reassembled all the pieces that had been previously disassembled. Once this is done, just close the door and see if the key will work.

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.
