Do you want to replace the gear knob on your Mini? Here’s how to proceed with the removal: first, hold the knob and twist it left and right until it comes off the gear stick (twist type). Use a plastic lever to detach the trim of the leather gaiter.

For installation: fit the new leather gaiter with the clips (if removed), then take the new knob and slide it onto the stick in the centre console until it is secured. Finally, test the movement of the stick in the centre console to ensure the knob is correctly fitted.

Location of the Jack and Spare Wheel of the Toyota Yaris

In the unfortunate event that one of the wheels of the Toyota Yaris is punctured, it is useful to know the location of the lifting jack, the spare wheel, the tool to operate the jack, and to unscrew the wheel bolts. The jack is located under the driver's seat, secured to a bracket and protected by a plastic cover, which you can remove by acting on the fixing clips. The spare wheel is located under the floor panel of the boot, secured to the floor by a threaded plastic flange, alongside which you will find the tool, consisting of a bent bar, which is used to operate the jack on one side and to remove the wheel on the other.
