Video tutorial

In this video, we will see how to change the steering head of an Opel Corsa D: we need to lift the front part of the car and remove the wheels, so we can see the steering head, which we will unscrew with a 22 key; we make a mark between the tie rod and the steering head.

Now we unlock the support bolt of the steering head with a 17 key, and then with a sharp blow of a hammer from below.

We unscrew the steering head counting the number of turns we give to remove it; we will need it when we put the new one in its place. We remove the lock nut from the tie rod, and also make a mark on the new pieces.

We grease the thread of the tie rod and place the new lock nut on it, then we reassemble the steering head, counting the number of turns and matching the mark; we grease the housing of the steering head and reposition it, tightening it with a 17 socket wrench, then tighten the lock nut between the two marks on the tie rod.

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.
