Peugeot 406 - Video tutorial

Model: Peugeot 406 MK 1 - Years 1995-2005
Part: Seat
Operation: How to remove scratches on leather seats

First, apply a leather fabric care cream to the seat, particularly in the area affected by scratches. This process will soften the skin so it works better. Let it sit for 5 minutes, then dry the area. Then apply a second product, the "Leather Cleaner" (in Italian, the cleaning product for leather). A small nail file may be useful for removing any streaks of dirt. Then dry the affected area with a dry cloth. The last step is to apply a dye to the skin wounds, which will adapt to the underlying color and which will fill in the small openings of the scratch. The last product to be applied is a polishing finish. Repeat the process in case this first coat has not given satisfactory results. Done!

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.
