How do you remove the tailgate struts? Follow these steps to dismantle the damaged parts and install the new ones. Lift the tailgate and secure it. Using a screwdriver, remove the retaining clips on the strut at the tailgate side.

Disconnect the struts from the other side. Remove the worn strut and fit the new piece into the two mounts.

Secure the strut with the metal clips. Repeat the same process for the removal and installation of the strut on the opposite side.

Close and open the tailgate to test its operation.

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.
