Erdington is five miles northeast of central Birmingham; since it borders Sutton Coldfield, it's worthwhile comparing garages in both locations to find the best one for your needs. The suburb is served by two A roads: the A5127 between Birmingham and Lichfield and the A4040 Outer Ring Road. The A52 passes to the northeast; the M6 motorway is a few miles southwest. Erdington railway station is on the Cross-City Line, and National Express operates most bus services.

Urban driving in Erdington 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 Erdington 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.
