Operation: How to replace the tailgate opening switch in a Land Rover Discovery?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the tailgate switch in the Land Rover Discovery 3, which is a very simple operation. In case the tailgate is locked and the switch is broken, we can open it by pressing and holding the two buttons to the right of the emergency light button for 3 seconds. Then, we locate the switch and use a flat-tipped screwdriver to remove it from the housing. Next, we cut the two wires, strip them, and connect them to the replacement wires. We can either solder them or use simple connectors to do this. Finally, we reinsert the switch into the housing.

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.
