Mini Cooper S gear knob replacement

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Shift knob

Let's see in this video tutorial how to remove and replace the gear knob of a Mini Cooper S, in simple steps. First of all we get inside the car and we go to remove the old knob; to do this, we go to grip the knob by lifting it upwards with force, as shown in the video. At this point we can remove the knob together with the gearshift gaiter; once the two components have been separated, let's reassemble the new knob on the old gearshift gaiter. If you want to mount a different model of knob you will need to install an adapter.

How to Open the Bonnet of the Citroen C3

A seemingly simple task that can be quite puzzling on some models is opening the bonnet, as each vehicle has a specific mechanism for this. In this model, you will find an orange lever at the bottom behind the small glove compartment in front of the front passenger seat. Once you pull the lever, you can then fully release the bonnet by also disengaging the internal safety lever, located just above the manufacturer's logo by inserting your hand between the gap of the bonnet and the bumper.
