How to Replace the Diesel Filter on a Smart

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Diesel fuel filter

To carry out this replacement, first remove the right rear wheel, as the filter is hidden just beneath the wheel arch in front of the wheel. After removing the wheel and ensuring your vehicle is on suitable axle stands, you will see the filter. Disconnect the various supply and return hoses, any connectors attached to it, and then remove the bolts securing it in place. Replace the filter with the new part and retrace your steps to reassemble the components.

How to Replace the Gear Shift Gaiter of the Honda CR-V

You can purchase an aftermarket gear shift cover complete with a knob, made of leather with coloured stitching. The disassembly is quite straightforward: start by unscrewing the gear shift knob by twisting it. Next, detach the trim at the base of the gear lever by prying along the edges. Then, remove the chrome trim that holds the gaiter in place, peeling off the leather edges from the plastic support. Apply new double-sided adhesive to the plastic tabs to insert and stick the edges of the new gaiter, securing it with the chrome trim. Finally, fit the gaiter complete with the knob onto the gear lever, securing it with the appropriate screws and reattaching the trim to the tunnel support.
