Mercedes Classe C - Video tutorial

Model: Mercedes Classe C W203 - Years 2000-2007
Part: Accessory Kit
Operation: Food holder support repair

The food holder support integrated into the dashboard of the car has a very complex opening and closing mechanism: it is a system of springs and plastic gears that allows the support to rotate and raise or lower during the opening and closing phase; as these are indeed plastic elements, it is quite probable that some teeth or slides could give way, preventing the mechanism from activating; it will therefore be a question of examining the various elements by intercepting the point where the jamming takes place in order to eliminate it by cleaning and lubricating the sliding parts.

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.
