How to adjust the window regulator closure of the Mini R50

Model: Mini Mini R52, R50, R53 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Window switch

In this video we can see how to adjust the power window switch of the Mini R50: in the example we see, the cable has become loose and to fix it we will have to remove the panel, starting from the screw located on the right side of the panel, under a finishing round; a second screw is located near the opening handle, a third on the handle and the fourth on the right side of the handle opening compartment. Once the panel is removed, we can access the mechanism and see that the cable tensioner has loosened and simply needs to be reinforced. Hopefully it has not broken, because this component alone does not exist as a spare part: we would have to repurchase the entire mechanism (which costs about 50 euros) or look for it from a scrap dealer.

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.
