Mercedes Sl - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Sl R129, MK 5 - Years 1989-2001
Part: Key
Operation: Duplicate key creation

If you need a duplicate of the keys of these fairly dated car models, which have a fairly simple technology so much so that the keys themselves are not equipped with a transponder for the immobilizer; it is therefore a simple mechanical key to which the coding or the right combination to open the lock must be practiced. Already by contacting a hardware store specialized in key duplication, you should be able to find both the blank profile and the pantograph cipher to duplicate the key; if you want a key similar to the original in appearance, even with the manufacturer's logo, you can search online and then have the encryption carried out in the hardware store.

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.
