Operation: How to recognize a crashed car

If we decide to buy a used car and go to a used car showroom, we are certain that we will not see a run down car, but only shiny and well maintained cars. So how can we be sure those cars haven't been repainted or even crashed. What can help us understand what happened to the car is the license plate. Because if this has already been reregistered, he must suspect it and make us ask why: otherwise, if the license plate is damaged or re-registered, it means that the car has suffered damage. Conversely, a plate in good condition tells us that the car has been well maintained. We then check that the brand of the projectors is the same. This will tell us that there were no substitutions; then evaluate the degree of opacity of the polycarbonate headlamps, the closure of the bonnets, the centering of the doors and the tone of the colors on all the parts. So always look at it during the day, never at night.

Handbrake adjustment on Ford Ecosport

First remove the plastic profile at the base of the gear lever. To do this, slightly widen the side edges and carefully lift it to release it. There is no need to remove it completely, just move it forward to avoid bother. Now remove the plastic center console around the handbrake by first working from the rear to release it and lifting it until the brake lever passes. Also in this case it is not necessary to remove it completely but, paying attention to the connected cables, it can be stowed in front of the passenger seat. At this point we notice that at the base of the handbrake lever, on the front, we find a nut. By acting on it, with a 10 wrench, we can adjust the brake force, increasing it by turning the nut clockwise, or decreasing it by turning it counterclockwise. Once adjusted, the center console can be repositioned first, pressing lightly to engage it, and then the profile of the gearbox base.
