Part: Lock
Operation: How do you replace the rear tailgate lock on the Mercedes A-Class?

In order to replace the rear door lock of the Mercedes A-Class, you need to open the door so that the inner lining can be detached. This will allow you to loosen the screws that secure the lock to its housing, enabling you to remove it from its position. Then, you will also need to disconnect the connectors attached to it, so that they can be connected to the new replacement lock. The new lock can now be fixed to its housing using the appropriate screws, allowing you to cover the door with its panel.

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.
