Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 2, Focus 2 - Years 2004-2011
Part: Bodywork
Operation: Underbody heat shield fixing

A heat shield is positioned below the floor of the car, in correspondence with the passage of the exhaust pipe: it is a sheet of material resistant to high temperatures, shaped in such a way as to protect the floor itself; this sheet is fixed by means of interlocking washers to special studs obtained on the platform itself; the video shows the failure of the eyelet of the shield right at the fixing point with consequent vibrations and noise: it can be remedied by making a spring washer; get a piece of 2x2 sheet metal, make a hole in the center and a cut for half section and then move the two edges apart so that once the plate is fixed to the stud it keeps the shield in place.

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.
