Vauxhall Corsa - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Key
Operation: Ignition key lock lubrication

If it happens that the ignition key turns with difficulty, a first solution is to lubricate the lock and the steering lock mechanism. To perform this lubrication in an optimal way, it is advisable to remove the upper shell that covers the light switch controls: then unscrew the fixing screws of the two shells (two are located at the front behind the steering wheel which must be rotated 90 degrees by removing the protection); once the screws have been removed, unhook the upper shell and spray some lubricant (the WD40 is perfect) both inside the lock and in the hole above the steering lock support. If the problem persists even after lubrication then it could be a problem of wear of the internal mechanism.

How do I replace the Land Rover Evoque auxiliary battery?

In order to replace the auxiliary battery of the Land Rover Evoque, it is necessary to go inside the passenger compartment and remove the panel which is positioned immediately under the glovebox. Once the screws that secure this panel have been loosened, it will be possible to access the components located in its rear part, including the auxiliary battery. The latter must be disconnected from its cables and the fixing screws must be loosened. The battery can then be replaced with a new one and the panel can be fixed again with its screws.
