Renault Megane - Video tutorial

Model: Renault Megane Megane 2 - Years 2002-2010
Part: Checks and maintenance
Operation: How do you open the hood of the Renault Megane if the lever is broken?

If the lever that allows you to unlock the bonnet of your Renault Megane is broken or doesn't work, there is an emergency procedure to be able to unlock the mechanism: you have to go and detach the right front grille located in the upper part of the bumper. Once the grille has been removed, it will be possible to identify the actuator mechanism: by pulling the spring which is in this position, the actuator can be released, allowing the bonnet to be lifted and access to the components located inside the engine compartment. Then it will be possible to close the bonnet simply by lowering it.

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.
