In this tutorial we can see how to replace the gear knob in the BMW 3 Series, an extremely simple and quick operation. First of all, let's go inside the car, then, using preferably a plastic spatula in order not to leave marks, we unhook the base of the gear lever boot by levering along the entire perimeter.

We then disconnect the connector just released, grab the knob and separate it from the shaft by pulling it forcefully upwards. At this point, all that remains is to position any spare parts and reassemble everything following the reverse procedure.

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.
