Land Rover Discovery - Video tutorial

Model: Land Rover Discovery L318, Discovery 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Gearbox
Operation: Removing the gearbox

In the following video the gearbox is removed from a Land-rover Discovery. The work is done in the workshop and the car certainly does not appear in good general condition. The gearbox is first identified from the underside of the car and the lower gearbox bolts are loosened with a ratchet wrench and an extension. Then, with a flexible circular saw, an access passage is literally cut out. With a plasma cutter, which uses electrically conductive gases to transfer energy from an electrical power source to the cut material, the entire gearbox is freed. Finally, with the help of an iron lever, the box is definitively removed.

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.
