Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C - Years 1983-1993
Part: Headlight
Operation: Headlight glass replacement

In older generation headlights, where the external coating was made of glass, it is possible to replace this lens since it is fixed to the headlight parabola with metal hooks: however, to perform this replacement it is necessary to disassemble the headlight same. Start by opening the front hood and releasing the side indicator light; remove the trim molding immediately under the headlight and unscrew the fixing pins of the headlight itself to extract it from its seat. At this point, unhook the metal fasteners that secure the glass, remove the damaged glass and install the new one, paying attention to the gasket and to the fastening of the fasteners themselves.

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.
