Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Headlight
Operation: How to replace the low beam headlight of a Ford Focus MK3.

Let's see how to change the low beam bulb of a Ford Focus MK3 headlight: we need to remove the two screws at the opposite ends of the headlight assembly. These two screws hold the entire headlight in place, and with a slight pressure, it will come off. Identify the bulb that needs to be replaced: there are rubber caps at the back, remove the corresponding one so that we can access the light compartment. Remember that the new bulb should never be touched with bare hands (or its lifespan will be significantly reduced). Remove the old bulb, place the new one back in, close the rubber cap, put the headlight assembly back in place, tighten the two screws to secure it, and the job is done.

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.
