How to change the gear knob of an Opel Insignia? In this video, see how to proceed with the removal. Disconnect the leather gaiter frame using a plastic lever, take the knob in your hands and rotate it left and right until you remove it from the gear stick (cut the metal clip if present).

To install, proceed in reverse. Take the new knob and slide it onto the stick in the centre console along with the gaiter, tighten it onto the stick; fit the new leather gaiter with the clips.

Finally, test the correct fitting of the knob with the movement of the stick on the centre console.

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.
