Start by removing the side plastic cover, then detach the now exposed clips using a plastic lever. After removing the adhesive, unscrew the t20 bolt that holds the lock, keeping the handle pulled with the other hand.

At this point, you can extract the cylinder and then detach the handle, removing the small clip with a small flat screwdriver as shown in the video. Now unscrew the t20 next to the handle (which has already been removed) and remove the door panel (we have many tutorials dedicated to this task).

At this point, you will finally have access to the lock, which you can remove as shown in the video.

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.
