Video tutorial

In this video, we see the repair of a damaged dashboard on an Alfa Romeo GTV spider, where a hole had been made and then covered with a plastic plug. The hole was likely created to install an accessory, such as a phone holder or an additional gauge, and had deformed the plastic, making an invisible repair difficult.

The surface was levelled with plastic filler, then textured to mimic the original finish and prevent future cracks. Using a plastic primer and pigment replicates the original base, but a slight scar remains; it was important not to overdo the filler to avoid cracks from vibrations.

How to Reset the Tire Pressure Light on a MG ZS?

On the instrument cluster of the MG ZS, the tire pressure light that appears can be reset by inflating the tires to the correct pressure: this value will be indicated on the sticker attached to the driver's door pillar. Once the tires have been properly inflated, you can turn on the instrument cluster and navigate through the menu until you find the option that indicates tire pressure: if this screen shows the new values, the light will turn off; otherwise, you will need to drive for a few miles so that the sensors can read the new values and turn off the light afterward.
