Mazda Mx 5 - Video tutorial

Model: Mazda Mx 5 MK 3, NC - Years 2005-2015
Part: Radiator
Operation: How to replace the radiator on the Mazda Mx-5

To replace the radiator on the Mazda MX5 you must first unscrew the two side bolts highlighted in the video; the radiator fan connector and the air conditioning connector are disconnected. Of course, first we have to empty the radiator, entering under the car and opening the lower cap of the radiator itself. Collect the liquid in a container, which you will then dispose of in an authorized center. It is not water. We move the clamp of the lower radiator hose so that it can be removed. We remove the upper tube of the radiator, always moving the clamp at the bottom of the tube. We also move the clamp attached to the thermostat so that we can move this tube and be able to work on it better. We disconnect the tube that goes to the expansion tank - which must be emptied - remove the bolts we saw at the beginning. Using a bit of force because it is still on some pins, pull it up. Put the radiator back into the engine compartment, making sure to center the two brackets on which it is to be placed. We connect the lower and upper pipes, remember the clamps we had moved, including that of the thermostat. We reconnect the tube that goes to the expansion clamp, Put the connectors and fixing bolts back in place. We close the bottom cap and fill with the antifreeze liquid.

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.
