Instructions for Installing Ignition Coils

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Ignition coil

On this model of car, the ignition leads and coils are not separate but integrated into a single unit located right at the top of the engine, just under the cover displaying the OPEL logo and the ECOTECH inscription. Start by removing the cover (to do this, you need to unscrew the oil filler cap), replace the oil cap to prevent dirt from entering, and unscrew the fixing screws of the coil pack. Disconnect the side connector and remove it. Then proceed in reverse order for the installation of the new coil pack.

How to Replace the Gear Shift Gaiter of the Honda CR-V

You can purchase an aftermarket gear shift cover complete with a knob, made of leather with coloured stitching. The disassembly is quite straightforward: start by unscrewing the gear shift knob by twisting it. Next, detach the trim at the base of the gear lever by prying along the edges. Then, remove the chrome trim that holds the gaiter in place, peeling off the leather edges from the plastic support. Apply new double-sided adhesive to the plastic tabs to insert and stick the edges of the new gaiter, securing it with the chrome trim. Finally, fit the gaiter complete with the knob onto the gear lever, securing it with the appropriate screws and reattaching the trim to the tunnel support.
