Vauxhall Vectra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Vectra Vectra C, MK 3 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Shock absorbers
Operation: How to change the rear shock absorbers in the Opel Vectra c.

Before proceeding to replace the rear shock absorbers, in the Ford Vectra C, we place our car on a plane or on a bridge. This, in order to be able to work in safe and stable conditions and thus guarantee the operator's safety. It is, of course, an operation to be carried out whenever maintenance operations are to be carried out. Once this is done, we remove the wheel corresponding to the shock absorber to be replaced and slightly lift the wheel disc, using a hydraulic jack. Using the appropriate wrench, we disassemble the shock absorber and install the new one. We put the disc back to its height, mount the wheel and let the car get off the bridge and, in this way, the game is done!

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.
