How to Replace the Lift Supports on the Mitsubishi Freeca/Adventure Tailgate

Model: Mitsubishi Freeca MK 1 - Years 1997-2017
Part: Checks and maintenance

The lift supports of a tailgate as large as that of the Freeca/Adventure are prone to wear due to their function, and being long and thin, they are subject to wear and tear. Let's see how to replace them easily. The parts cost less than $30 when purchased from major e-commerce platforms. First, you need to remove the old ones, which is very simple; just unscrew three bolts on the upper flange and three on the lower flange to remove the rod. In the same simple way, reinstall the new rod. Be careful to install it in the correct orientation. It may seem trivial, but it is not.

How to change the time on a Toyota Yaris

In this video we see how to change the time on a Toyota Yaris, specifically when it comes to switching from daylight saving time to standard time and vice versa. We go to the multifunction screen and press "settings": from there we go to press the clock, simply click on daylight saving time, and the clock will change the time for us, without doing anything else. All we want to do is just adjust the time format to 12 or 24 hours, as is customary in the area where we live: for example in Anglo-Saxon countries it is common to set the time to 12 hours, while in the European Union it is normally set to 24 hours.
