Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Airbags
Operation: Driver airbag removal instructions

Before proceeding with the disassembly of the driver's airbag, it is advisable to disconnect the battery to avoid both the relative warning light on the instrument panel coming on and any accidental detonation; the airbag is fixed to the steering wheel by means of two torx pins with a 30 mm wrench, located just behind the spokes of the steering wheel itself; behind the spokes there are in fact two holes through which it is possible to insert the key and unscrew the fixing pins of the airbag; once the two fixing pins have been unscrewed, remove the airbag from its seat and disconnect the socket by first pulling out the safety catch.

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.
