Vauxhall Corsa - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Alternator
Operation: How to replace the alternator on the Opel Corsa?

In order to disassemble the no longer working alternator we must first remove the service belt. To do this it is necessary to loosen the belt tensioner so that it can be easily removed. Now we can go unscrew the screws that hold the alternator in place. Once the screws have been removed, we disconnect the connector and remove the alternator. We take the new spare part and place it in its seat by reconnecting it to the connector and tightening the fixing screws. Finally, put the service belt back in place by adjusting the tensioner. We proceed to dispose of the old alternator according to current regulations.

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.
