MG Hector - Video tutorial

Model: MG Hector MK 1 - Years 2019-2024
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to change the battery of the MG Hector remote control.

In this video, we see how simple it is to change the battery of the MG Hector remote control. We open the key by removing the metal part from its casing, then using a small screwdriver or a coin, we follow the junction of the two halves of the remote control in order to easily open it, but without damaging it. Now the small screwdriver is used to open the two equally small screws that close the internal part of the remote control: in the part with the metal key, the electronic circuit remains, while in the other part that we removed, we will find the battery, which we will remove by levering it with our screwdriver. It is a common CR2032 battery that we can easily obtain. We replace it, being careful to position it with the correct polarity, put the battery group back in place, and close the two screws. We put the cover back on and the job is done.

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.
