Lotus Elise - Video tutorial

Model: Lotus Elise MK 2 - Years 2004-2009
Part: Engine oil
Operation: Do-it-yourself engine oil change

To carry out the maintenance in safety, the car is raised with the jack and placed under the stands, the screws are then unscrewed along the perimeter of the rear underbody protection in correspondence with the engine and its removal. At this point, a flat container is placed in correspondence with the sump, the cap is unscrewed and the oil drained completely. After having tightened the cap of the sump, the cap-filter is unscrewed with a socket wrench, which will be replaced and screwed back into its housing. We open the filler cap and pour in the new oil, making sure not to exceed the level, mount the underbody protection again and the work is finished.

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.
