Part: Starter motor
Operation: Replacement of the ignition motor of the Opel Astra

Removing the ignition motor of the Opel Astra? We disassemble the starter motor if it is damaged. We open and lift the front hood, disconnect the battery power terminals. We remove the supply battery and its container. We locate the starter motor and disconnect the electrical terminals, unscrew the locking pins of the starter motor with a socket wrench and remove it from the engine compartment. We assemble the new ignition motor with the connection of the power supply cables and with the attached tightening screws. We mount the battery holder with attached battery.

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.
