How to reset the service light on a Subaru Legacy?

Model: Subaru Legacy BM, BR, MK 5 - Years 2009-2014
Part: Service warning light

The first step to reset the service light on the Subaru Legacy is to turn on the dashboard. Then, we need to press the handbrake lever and turn the key to start the engine. While holding down the brake pedal, we activate the rear window heating system and turn on the position lights, then turn them both off in the same order we turned them on (do this twice in a row) and finally release the brake pedal. The service light will start flashing. Count 30 seconds from when it turns off and then turn off the engine and restart it after at least 40 seconds to verify that the procedure was successful.

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.
