Model: Honda Civic MK 5 - Years 1992-1995
Part: Radiator
Operation: Engine cooling radiator replacement

Open the cap of the expansion tank and place a tank under the radiator to collect the coolant. Open the lower cock and allow the coolant to flow into the basin. Unhook the sealing springs at the bottom of the expansion tank and remove it from its housing. Remove the two fan mount side screws, the electrical harness connector and using the two wrenches to unlock the retaining nut to allow for removal. Unscrew the hose clamps on the water delivery duct to the radiator and remove it. Also disconnect all return pipes. Unscrew the radiator sealing screws and remove it by pulling upwards. Clean the radiator compartment from dirt. Install the new radiator, the expansion tank and reconnect all hoses. Refit the fan and the air filter. Top up with the appropriate coolant. Start the engine, open the air vent valve until the liquid comes out to eliminate any air bubbles and check for leaks.

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.
