Replacing the Gear Knob on Your Opel Zafira

Model: Vauxhall Zafira Zafira B, A05, MK 2 - Years 2005-2011
Part: Shift knob

Do you want to replace the gear knob on your Opel Zafira? Follow these steps. First, grip the knob with your hands and rotate it left and right until it comes off the gear stick. Use a plastic lever to disconnect the leather gaiter frame (disconnect any power clips if present). For reassembly: Fit the new leather gaiter with the clips, then take the new knob and slide it onto the stick in the centre console, tightening the new knob until it is fully threaded onto the lever. Finally, test the movement of the stick in the centre console to ensure the knob is correctly fitted.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
