Video tutorial

The video shows the procedure to follow for repairing minor bodywork damage. As you can see, it is essentially a purely manual operation where only experience can teach you. Most of the work involves straightening the bodywork and possibly the frame in the dented area, with plenty of patience and attention until you achieve a result that minimises the need for body filler.

After applying the filler, proceed to the final painting, blending in the case of metallic colours. The operation is performed on a Nissan Qashqai but is essentially universal.

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.
