Vauxhall Astra - Video tutorial

Model: Vauxhall Astra Astra G - Years 1998-2006
Part: Headlight
Operation: How to replace the front headlight of the Opel Astra G.

Today, with the help of this short video tutorial, we will explain how to remove and replace the front headlight of the Opel Astra model G. The first step is to open the front hood of the car and, using a Torx key, unscrew the upper and lower screws that secure the headlight. The second step is to remove the headlight from its housing and disconnect the connector. Now we can insert the new headlight. The third step is to connect the car's connector to the headlight and then insert it into its housing to secure it with the screws. Once the work with the right headlight is done, we move on to the left headlight.

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.
