Vauxhall Meriva - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Meriva Meriva A, MK 1 - Years 2003-2010
Part: Battery
Operation: Replacement key remote control battery Opel Meriva, Astra, Zafira, Vectra

Today we will see how to remove and replace the remote control battery of the key of an Opel Meriva, but also on other models of the house such as the Astra, the Zafira and the Vectra. First of all we take our key and go to lever on the slot that we find in the middle in order to separate our remote control in two parts; at this point we access the battery: then remove it and replace it with the new one, of the right type (in this case a 2032). Let's insert it in the correct direction and reassemble the two remote control shells, matching them, as shown in the video tutorial!

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.
