Learn how to install the boot lift supports on a Nissan 350Z: you can find the parts on Amazon with the code B0953PJLLZ at the price of £35.99 for the pair with free delivery. You will need the help of a friend: it is very dangerous to work alone.

The helper should hold the boot open and steady: work on one side at a time and start by removing the old support from the top using an 11 mm spanner; unscrew the nut that secures the support ball to the boot (it may pop off violently on the last turn, so be very careful!). For the bottom, use a 10 mm spanner to unscrew the bolt that secures the other end of the support to the frame.

Once unscrewed from both sides, remove the old support.

Clean the mounting seats well and start reassembling from the bottom by inserting the new support with its bolt and washer into the lower arm hole by hand, then tighten it to 10 Nm. With the helper slightly lifting the boot to align the ball, click the upper end of the support onto the ball of the boot; repeat on the other side and test the boot to ensure it stays open by itself.

How to reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV?

To reset the tyre pressure warning light on the Kia Niro EV, inflate 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 tyres are inflated, turn on the instrument cluster to check that the warning light has completely disappeared from the display. If it is still present, you may need to drive for a few miles to ensure it disappears completely from the screen.
