In this video, we discuss an important consideration when installing new struts - whether gas or spring, as shown in the footage - in the rear tailgate of a vehicle: in this case, it is a Fiat Tipo, but this caution applies equally to all vehicles undergoing this operation.

For the Fiat Tipo, gas struts can be found, for example, on biba-ricambi.com with code 3423 at a price of £29.99, plus £11.99 for shipping.

The YouTuber recommends that once you have installed the new struts, lower the tailgate slowly to allow the system to settle: then you can proceed to open it.

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.
