How to replace the starter motor of the Opel Astra

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Starter motor

The replacement of the starter motor of the Opel Astra follows a fairly complex procedure to be carried out independently. It is recommended to disconnect the vehicle's battery before replacing the starter motor. To begin the replacement, we must disconnect the power cables of the motor and immediately unscrew the fixing bolts. When disconnecting the bolts, we must be very careful with the bolt connected to the ground cable, which if damaged will need to be replaced. Remove the motor paying attention to the other components. Insert the new motor and connect the cables and tighten the bolts. Finish by connecting the battery and starting the vehicle to test the operation.

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.
