Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How to open the hood of an Opel Astra

Let's see how to carry out maintenance on our car. We open the bonnet of an Opel Astra. We open the door (driver's side) and pull the lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard (as in the video), then, slightly raise the bonnet and move the release lever to the left. Once the engine hood is unlocked, lift it up and secure it with the rod. Now that we have opened the bonnet we can do our maintenance. To close the hood again: remove the safety rod and drop the hood downwards from a minimum height. Let us be sure of the due closure of the same.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
