Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra J - Years 2009-2016
Part: Battery
Operation: Battery replacement on Opel Astra

When working with the engine off and the handbrake applied, raise the hood and secure it. Removing and then replacing the battery on Opel Astra J (but also on many similar vehicles and of the same brand) is very simple and now we will demonstrate it to you. It is held in place by an upper bracket: unscrew the two bolts and remove it. Unscrew and then disconnect the two poles starting, as always, from the negative pole and then only passing to the positive for electrical safety reasons. Remove the battery from its seat, insert the new one you purchased and proceed backwards for reassembly.

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.
