Video tutorial

Today with the help of the following video tutorial, we will explain how to replace the front brake discs of the Opel Astra model h. We start the replacement by opening the hood and unscrewing the cap of the brake fluid reservoir. Immediately after, we loosen the bolts of the front wheel with a 17mm wrench and then once the car is lifted, we remove the wheel.

Using a flat-head screwdriver, we release the clips of the caliper and then with a 7mm wrench, we remove the brake caliper. We continue with the removal of the caliper bracket and conclude with the removal of the brake disc.

We clean the area with a wire brush, apply grease and install the new disc and then the brake pad. We insert the caliper bracket, the caliper and finish with the mounting of the wheel. Proceed in the same way for the front left disc.

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.
