Vauxhall Corsa - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Corsa Corsa C - Years 2000-2006
Part: Alternator
Operation: How do you replace the alternator of the Opel Corsa?

In order to replace the alternator of the Opel Corsa, you need to open the hood so that you have access to the components located inside the engine compartment: on the left side of the engine block, you will be able to locate the alternator, after removing the intake hose. The alternator must first be freed from the corresponding service belt and then it can be removed by unscrewing the fixing screws. Once the alternator has been removed, it will be possible to insert the new replacement part, connecting and securing it, and verifying that everything is functioning correctly.

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.
