Installing a storage armrest on the Smart 450/451

Model: Smart Smart 451 - Years 2007-2015
Part: Body

Let's see how to easily install an armrest on a Smart 450/451 without making any holes. We can find it on Amazon for 46.99 (including delivery costs) or similar. However, we advise you to take an armrest that has a free bottom, precisely for the fixing system, because we simply fit it on the handbrake, then we push it towards the final part of the brake itself, until it is beyond the lever , so that it doesn't bother us if we have to use it. In this way the armrest will be well fixed and will not bother us if we have to use it. There are armrests, even cheaper ones, which have a bodywork that has a solid lower part, so they cannot be used for this type of fixing above the handbrake.

How to Remove the Engine Oil Filter of the Peugeot 308

How do you remove the engine oil filter of the Peugeot 308? Follow this guide to proceed with the replacement. Open the car door and pull up the engine compartment release lever located at the bottom left of the dashboard, then lift the front bonnet and secure it. Using a socket wrench, unscrew the large securing bolt of the container cap where the oil filter is located (engine compartment under the ventilation pipe). Drain the used oil from under the engine sump. Remove the worn oil filter and position a new one, ensuring it adheres well around the walls of the housing. Finally, refit the ventilation pipe and top up the engine oil. Close the front bonnet last.
