Replacing the diesel filter on a 90 HP Ford Focus is a fairly simple task that you can do yourself. The first step is to open the front bonnet and use an 8 mm spanner to remove the three bolts on top of the filter.

Once the bolts are removed, disconnect the hoses by pushing them outward. After removing everything that secures the filter, you can pull it out of its housing, applying a slight force if necessary.

Then, insert the new filter into the housing and reassemble everything, following the procedure in reverse as shown in the video.

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.
