Ford Focus - Video tutorial

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Spark plugs
Operation: How to change the spark plugs on a car

Changing the spark plugs on a car is a very simple process. What we will need will be: an air compressor, new spark plugs and plug sockets for spark plugs. First of all, the plug of the seal system must be removed and cleaned with a little compressed air. Subsequently, with a suitable screwdriver it will be necessary to remove the old candle which will obviously be more worn out to replace it with the new one. If we are unsure of the size to use, we can read it on the label attached to the hood of the car. At this point, very carefully, we can proceed to insert the new candle and screw it well. Finally, we will reconnect the plug. We will repeat the same process for all of them.

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.
