Glasgow is the most populated city in Scotland and the fourth most populated city in the UK. The main M8 motorway goes around the city centre and connects with the M73, M74, M77 and M80 motorways. Some diesel and petrol cars were banned from central Glasgow from June 2023 under plans for a Low Emissions Zone (LEZ), so if you need to head into the city centre, check whether your vehicle is allowed before you set off.

A Low Emission Zone (LEZ) is in operation in Glasgow. It was introduced in 2008 and covers most of Greater London, including some sections of the M1 and M4 but excluding the M25. The purpose of the LEZ is to discourage the most polluting diesel vehicles from driving in London. Unlike the ULEZ, which doesn't operate on Christmas Day, this zone is enforced all year round. How much you pay depends on your vehicle - it can be between £100-300. Find out more in this guide.

Driving in cities like Glasgow 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 Glasgow for all these crucial components.

Car brake fluid - also called hydraulic fluid - amplifies the braking force, prevents corrosion, and lubricates various components.

Every so often, you may need to do a brake fluid flush, which involves flushing the brake system entirely and refilling the master cylinder. How often you do a brake fluid change will impact the effectiveness and longevity of your braking system. If you press the brake pedal and it feels spongy, this is a sign the fluid needs replacing.

Many drivers wonder whether a brake fluid change is part of a service. Unfortunately, the answer is usually no. The recommended brake fluid change interval for many manufacturers is two years; you can find this information in your owner's manual.

How much does a brake fluid change cost? Usually, less than £80, though this depends on the make and model of your car.
