Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video we see how to repair the broken, or otherwise defective, rear hatch button of a Mini R56. This is a very common issue on this type of car, but we can replace the entire handle, already having the reinforced rubber button, with minimal cost. You can find it on AliExpress with code 60372231512, priced at 36.17 euros, with a shipping cost of 10.57 euros, and you can find it in both black and chrome, according to the color of your car and your preferences. Removing it is very easy, there are only Torx 20 screws to remove, then we will have to disconnect the electric connector that powers the license plate lights and the button. You could take the opportunity to switch to LED lights, if you haven't already: you can find the plates on Amazon with code B01N23LQ8G, priced at 19.99 euros, with free shipping for Prime customers.

How to Remove the Front Shock Absorber on a Peugeot 406

How to remove the front shock absorber on a Peugeot 406? The first step is to lift the bonnet and secure it with the prop rod. Use a socket wrench to unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts (engine bay), lift the car on a column lift and remove the front wheel. Unscrew the shock absorber mounting bolts at the wheel hub (detach the brake line clips with a screwdriver). Unscrew the bolts on the side, then remove the shock absorber from its housing (place a support under the bar). Compare the old part with the new one and prepare for installation. Fit the new shock absorber to the car, working in reverse order.
