Video tutorial

This short video shows you how to remove (and possibly replace) the rear tailgate panel of your Ford Focus. This task may be useful, for example, if you need to disassemble and change the release mechanism for the tailgate in your car. First, using an appropriate tool, unscrew all the screws that hold the panel to the tailgate.

Next, detach the panel from the structure by gently prying with a flat, thin tool. Once you have completed the internal work or replaced the old panel with a new one, reassemble everything by following the reverse process.

Job done!

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.
