Buntingford is bypassed by the A10 road, connecting the City of London with King's Lynn. It is approximately mid-way between the A1(M) and the M11 motorways, ten miles northeast of Stevenage. The town used to have a train station, but it has since closed, so if you need public transport while your car is being repaired, the best way to travel is by bus. The 331 service runs between Buntingford and Hertford, and the 899 travels to Royston.

Buntingford is in a rural area where you're likely to encounter uneven road surfaces and sharp turns, putting strain on your tyres and suspension. Regularly inspecting these components and following our tyre maintenance advice will help prevent any problems from developing. When driving through the countryside near Buntingford, keep an eye out for animals and livestock on the road to avoid braking suddenly, and be aware of other road users since there may be unmarked blind bends. Country roads sometimes flood during heavy rainfall, so check the forecast and take it slow through patches of water to avoid aquaplaning.

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.
