Land Rover Defender - Video tutorial

Model: Land Rover Defender MK 6 - Years 1990-2016
Part: Diesel filter
Operation: How to replace the diesel filter on Land Rover Defender MK1-MK2

Today we will see the procedure necessary for the disassembly and replacement of the diesel filter on the first and second generation Land Rover Defender. First we go to identify the diesel filter and start by removing the plastic protection, unscrewing the side screw; then we go to remove the bottom cap, letting all the diesel fuel drain into a container. At this point we use the filter wrench to unscrew and remove the filter, as shown in the video. We just have to mount and screw the new one by hand and reassemble the external plastic protection!

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.
