Replacing the glass of the external wing mirror is very simple and economical as it is a readily available aftermarket part; detach the support plate of the damaged mirror by levering on the rear and pulling it away enough to disconnect the wires of the mirror heating system; transfer the metal tab from the old to the new mirror support plate, connect the wires of the heating system (they do not have a fixed position) and align the fixing tabs to press and lock them in place correctly.

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.
