Lift the gear gaiter from the lower support by simply pulling it with your hands, then unscrew the gear knob (it requires quite a bit of turning) until you can remove it completely. Remove the spring and slide off the gaiter.

It's that simple! To reassemble, insert the new gaiter onto the gear lever, fit it into the base support, and position the spring in the same place from which you removed it. Screw the gear knob back on completely. As you can see, this is a very straightforward task that anyone can do themselves, without needing to go to a garage.

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.
