Operation: How to replace the cabin filter in a Mazda RX 8

In this video tutorial we can see how it is possible to replace the cabin filter in a Mazda RX 8, following some simple steps that will allow us to work independently; the first thing to do is to buy a new cabin filter from an authorized dealer; next step we have to get in the car, turn off the car and pull the handbrake. The pollen filter in this car can be found behind the glove compartment, so we have to remove all the material present inside it; with the drawer open we have to press the sides of the drawer inwards, to lower it completely and then release the right side pin, now we can remove the compartment from its seat. Next step we need to remove the filter cover and extract the filter element from its housing. Position the new filter following the directions of the arrows on the filter itself.

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.
