Vauxhall Vectra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Vectra Vectra C, MK 3 - Years 2002-2008
Part: Outside rearview mirror
Operation: Replacement car exterior rearview mirror

Our car's rearview mirror is broken and we don't know how to fix it? The following guide shows us how. We may see that replacing it is easier than you think. You will need a new mirror and screwdriver. Once the new screwdriver has been purchased, it can be dismantled and reassembled. The procedure is extremely simple: in the center of any interior rearview mirror there is a button that must be pushed up; after having brought it into position, with the help of a screwdriver, rotate the fixing screw placed right between the mirror and the external support. As for the external rear-view mirrors, always help yourself with a screwdriver, but not to unscrew: in this case a pressure must be applied to the glass from below, trying to enter with the screwdriver between the glass and the external covering and levering.

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.
