How to repair a glove compartment that opens too quickly on the Toyota Corolla MK3

Model: Toyota Corolla MK 3 - Years 2006-2013
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, we see how to repair a storage compartment that opens too quickly: in fact, the drawer should open in a controlled manner, so as not to fall on the passenger's knees. In this case, there is a problem with the damper that may not be connected correctly, missing, or broken. We then see the image of the shock absorber, which has three connections. We can find the replacement part, for example, on Amazon with the code B0C8BF2LNC at a price of 50.00 euros, including shipping costs. We need to remove the drawer to reconnect it, by removing the screw on the outer side and then pinching it on the sides to pull it out. On the outer side, we find a clip where we install the shock absorber: we are ready to put the drawer back in place, always pinching the sides and fitting it in place. We connect the other arm of the shock absorber to the screw, and we can put the screw back in place.

How to Reset the Tyre Pressure Light on the Opel Grandland X

While driving, if you notice the tyre pressure warning light coming on, first check the actual inflation pressure of the tyres and, if necessary, restore the pressures recommended by the manufacturer. After restoring the correct pressures, you need to reset the warning light that has illuminated on the instrument cluster. To do this, locate the reset button on the lower central console. Press this button and hold it down for at least 3 seconds, after which the low pressure indication will turn off.
