Volvo S40 - Video tutorial

Model: Volvo S40 MK 1 - Years 1995-2004
Part: Dashboard
Operation: Disassembly of the glove box door

The disassembly of the glove compartment door is very easy to perform and does not require special precautions or equipment; In fact, it is sufficient to use a Phillips screwdriver to first remove the fixing screws of the sound-absorbing panel present immediately under the glove compartment and then access the ones that secure the door; at this point remove the two screws, open the door and remove it; then proceed backwards to be able to reinstall it, aligning it correctly and then fasten it with the relative screws and refit the previously removed sound-absorbing panel.

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.
