Newport Pagnell has strong road links thanks to the nearby M1 motorway, accessible at junction 14 via the A509, which travels north to Warrington. Aston Martin cars were manufactured in Newport Pagnell for 52 years, and the town was also home to Salmons Coachworks from 1830, when the company was formed. The nearest railway station is Wolverton, around 3.5 miles away. Fortunately, several Arriva bus services stop in Newport Pagnell, and Uno operates a route between Milton Keynes and Bedford.

Urban driving in Newport Pagnell 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 Newport Pagnell 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.
