Holden Colorado 7 - Video tutorial

Model: Holden Colorado 7 MK 2 - Years 2011-2023
Part: Third brake light
Operation: How to prevent the third brake light from coming off the rear of the Holden Colorado 7.

A problem that affects the Holden Colorado is the loss of the third stop light, the rear one. After all, it is a vehicle that is marketed in Australia and therefore designed for very rough off-road use. In this video, we are taught a simple method to avoid losing this important accessory. The third stop light is located on the square body of the vehicle, obviously at the rear. It is clear why it is so easy to detach: only two fragile screws hold a long plastic bar in place. The YouTuber removes it, degreases and cleans the surface and the bar itself, and applies a good amount of silicone to both. He lets it dry slightly and fixes it. He reattaches the screws, and now no off-road terrain can make the third stop light come loose again.

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.
