Video tutorial

In this video, you will see how to adjust the handbrake on an Opel Corsa. The presenter starts by checking the integrity of the cable, then sprays a lubricant similar to WD-40 to clean the cable contacts.

The adjustment, however, takes place from inside the vehicle. You will need to remove the cover surrounding the handbrake handle.

Underneath, you will find the adjustment screw, which will allow you to tighten it (in this case, as the handbrake needed nine clicks before being fully engaged). You will need a number 10 spanner for this operation, which requires many small turns due to limited space.

The ideal tension is three clicks of the lever.

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.
