Colindale is in London's Low Emission Zone and is served by two key roads: the A5, which passes along its southwestern border, connecting Holyhead with Westminster, and the A5150, which travels east to Hendon. The M1 motorway is also nearby, passing to the east. If you need public transport in Colindale while your car is being repaired, several London Buses routes serve the district - including 32, 125 and 303 - and the tube station is on Colindale Avenue.

Urban driving in Colindale 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 Colindale can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

Colindale is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ), both of which are designed to reduce air pollution in the city. The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day, and excludes the M25 motorway. It charges drivers of cars, vans, motorcycles and specialist vehicles that don't meet the emissions standards £12.50 a day. The LEZ also covers most of Greater London and specifically targets drivers of the most polluting diesel vehicles. It is enforced year-round, and the amount you pay varies. It usually ranges from £100-300 depending on your vehicle, and you can pay online. This guide explains everything you need to know about ULEZ and LEZ.

Approximately 10% of the refrigerant gas in your aircon system leaks out yearly, so you'll eventually need to book a car aircon regas.

Aircon regassing is a quick and simple job; it shouldn't take longer than 45 minutes. Most manufacturers recommend booking an aircon recharge every two years to ensure your AC system continues to function optimally.

Aircon regas and recharge refer to the same thing: when the system's refrigerant gas is replaced. On the other hand, an aircon service is a full inspection of the system, including the pressure and temperature, which usually takes an hour or more.

For car air conditioning regassing or service, it's best to find an aircon refill specialist who can do the job correctly. Some mechanics will even carry out a mobile car air conditioning recharge near you for added convenience! That's why you should compare quotes, locations and reviews on FixMyCar.
