Replacing the Handbrake in a Car

Model: Renault Clio Clio 2, MK 2 - Years 1998-2005
Part: Parking brake

Often, when it comes to the handbrake, people turn to an experienced mechanic for help. However, it is possible to do this without necessarily going to an authorised workshop, saving quite a bit of money. First, remove the broken cable, and following the repair manual, take out the broken part. The installation procedure for the new part should be done in reverse order to that used for removing the old cable. Be very careful and ensure that everything fits perfectly in its designated place. Once the new handbrake is installed, it is advisable to carry out some test runs with the car.

How to Reset the Central Locking of the Volkswagen Golf 4?

If the central locking system of the Volkswagen Golf 4 is not working, it is likely necessary to reset the system: to do this, open the driver's door and detach the side panel of the dashboard next to the steering wheel. Under this panel, you will find the fuses, including the one for the central locking, which is indicated in the manual as number 14. To reset the system, remove this fuse from its housing, then reinsert it or replace it with a new one of the same amperage: this will reset the central locking system.
