How to Change the Gear Knob on a Renault Clio?

Model: Renault Clio MK 3, Clio 3, Clio III - Years 2005-2013
Part: Transmission

If you want to personalise your vehicle or refresh the interior, you can replace the gear knob and, if desired, the gaiter as well. First, sit in the driver's seat and obtain a small flathead screwdriver to lever off the plastic cover that shows the gear positions and the half-profile plastic that makes up the knob itself. If you cannot detach it all at once, you can use a craft knife to assist. If you wish, you can also remove the gaiter covering the gear lever. Then, take the new knob and press it into the gear lever housing.

How to Repair the Key Spring of the Peugeot 207?

Over time, frequent use of the key's flip mechanism in the vehicle, dozens of times a day, inevitably leads to wear of the internal spring. As shown in this video, replacing the spring is quite simple and takes little time. After opening the casing halfway, first position the key, then the spring housing, and finally insert the spring into the previously mentioned housing. Close the casing by rotating it clockwise, ensuring all components fit perfectly, and test the key's flip mechanism.
