Avonmouth is a port and suburb of Bristol with strong road links thanks to the M5 motorway, which bypasses its southeastern border, and the M49, which joins the M4 at Redwick. St Andrew's Road (the A403) is the main road through the suburb, connecting it to nearby Chittening. Just three bus routes serve Avonmouth - two operated by Stagecoach and one by First Bristol - and there are stops on McLaren Road, St Brendan's Way and Farr Street.

Urban driving in Avonmouth may reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Avonmouth can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

Airbag systems work thanks to onboard sensors that detect when a car has crashed. A small explosive device in the airbag module detonates, inflating the airbag, which protects the driver and passenger from impact with the front of the car.

This system has several components: the ECU, ignitor, sensors, inflator, warning lights, passenger occupancy sensors and the airbags themselves. If one or more of these develops a fault, you'll need to book a car airbag repair as soon as possible.

The most obvious sign you need an airbag ECU repair is the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) warning light. When the airbag warning light comes on and stays on, an airbag light repair may be required, though the problem is likely related to the system rather than the light itself. In fact, the light may indicate a sensor problem, in which case you'll need to book a car airbag sensor repair.
