Prepare to replace the timing belt on a Toyota Land Cruiser. Lift the engine bonnet; remove the cooling fan to access the belt kit. Once these steps are completed, remove the timing belt cover panel (remove the sensor if present).

Using a suitable spanner, loosen the second tensioner and slide the belt off its seat. After fitting the new belt, use the spanner to install the tensioner, adjusting until the correct belt tension is achieved (fit both belts).

Finally, check the tensioner and the belt itself, tightening everything with a socket spanner.

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.
