Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Antenna
Operation: How to replace the antenna in a Ford Focus?

Replacing only the antenna itself is very simple as it only requires unscrewing the old antenna from its base and screwing in the new one. However, replacing the antenna base is more complicated, but thanks to this video, we can learn how to do it. Using a flathead screwdriver or a similar object (doing it with just your fingers is really difficult), we release the interior light fixture of the passenger compartment. Behind the bulb holder, we can see the screw that holds the antenna base in place: we insert a suitable screwdriver and begin to unscrew it. We exit the passenger compartment and remove the base, which is now free, attach the new one, and then return inside the car to tighten the screw and close the light fixture.

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.
