Lotus Elise - Video tutorial

Model: Lotus Elise MK 2 - Years 2004-2009
Part: Engine oil
Operation: How to replace the engine oil in the Lotus Elise?

In this tutorial, we can see how to replace the engine oil in the Lotus Elise, a very simple and quick operation. First of all, we lift the vehicle, taking all the necessary safety measures, and then we remove the lower protective panel by unscrewing all the relevant fixing bolts. We then locate the drain valve, open it, and let all the oil in the system drain out. At this point, we can unscrew the old filter, tighten the replacement, reassemble everything, and pour the new oil through the appropriate upper hole.

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.
