Did you know Manchester has fewer cars per head of population than any other city in the UK? However, it has also been named one of the most dangerous places to drive, with almost 7,000 collisions in seven years. The A6 and A56 see a particularly high number of accidents. Plans for a Clean Air Zone in Greater Manchester have been scrapped, for now, so you don't have to worry about paying charges for driving in certain areas.
Driving in cities like Manchester puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Manchester for all these crucial components.
The alternator plays a simple but crucial role in keeping your car's battery charged, which means it is also indirectly responsible for starting the vehicle and keeping various components running. It is like a small generator; the engine spins, and the alternator turns this movement into electricity.
Here are five signs your alternator is faulty.
Common reasons for car alternator repair include a failing voltage regulator (which ensures the battery receives the charge at the correct voltage) and worn brushes (which maintain electrical contact with the alternator). An alternator specialist can advise you on the cause of the problem and how best to fix it.
Rather than repairing the component, a total car alternator replacement may be required, which is a straightforward job that most mechanics can do. However, when considering an alternator repair vs replacement, the latter only occurs when multiple parts fail, and the repair cost would be close to that of fitting a new component.
Find out how much it costs to replace an alternator in this guide.
