Here's how to change the rear light bulbs on a Ford Ka MK1: open the tailgate and locate a black plastic panel inside the boot, corresponding to the light, held by several bayonet fasteners. Rotate each screw counterclockwise a quarter turn to unlock it, then pull it towards you. Find the bulb holder behind the panel, and by lifting the release lever, pull the entire bulb holder towards you. Remove the old bulb by pressing it inwards and turning it counterclockwise.

Insert the new bulb by pressing it inwards and turning it clockwise (use disposable gloves for this operation). Refit the bulb holder into its housing, reposition the panel, and secure it with its fasteners.

That's it.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Dacia Sandero?

The tyre pressure warning light that appears on the instrument cluster of the Dacia Sandero can be reset by inflating the tyres until they reach the correct pressure value: this value is indicated on the sticker attached to the driver’s door pillar. Once the inflation is complete, navigate through the menu that appears on the instrument cluster to find the option related to the tyres: select this with the OK button, which should then be held down for a few seconds to completely turn off the light.
