Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Car dashboard replacement

It can happen to replace the dashboard of our car. How to do? There are screws and special joints on which to leverage without forcing too much. To disassemble the dashboard, first of all, remove the two Allen screws on the sides of the dashboard, in the lower bulkheads, near where the air vents for the feet are located. Near the lower part of the ashtray or in the glove compartment there are two other Allen screws which must also be removed. Once the 4 screws of the dashboard have been removed, it is detached, bear in mind that there are some joints and that you must proceed with caution. If we are not careful we could break plastic hooks or damage electrical wires.

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.
