If you need to dismantle the air conditioning compressor, the very first operation is to recover the refrigerant gas to prevent it from escaping into the environment during disassembly; after recovering the gas with the appropriate tool, loosen the tensioner of the auxiliary belt, which is located just behind the alternator, to free the compressor pulley; then disconnect the pipes by removing the fixing pin of the flange connection and access the compressor from underneath to dismantle the relevant fixing pins and complete the disassembly.

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.
