Replacing the Centre High-Level Brake Light on a Skoda Octavia

Model: Skoda Octavia MK 2, 1Z - Years 2004-2012
Part:

Open the boot by lifting the tailgate and remove the central cover to access the underlying bolt. Now that you have done this, you can remove the inner panel of the tailgate by prising it away with your hands around the entire gap. At this point, unscrew the other accessible bolts clearly shown in the video, then remove the other internal cover located at the bottom above the centre high-level brake light. Unscrew the two bolts that secure the brake light from behind and then push it slightly outward to extract it once the tailgate is lowered.

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.
