The A38 road passes just south of Plympton, travelling east towards Bodmin and northeast to Exeter. Central Plymouth is around five miles away or fifteen minutes by car. If you have an electric vehicle, there are a few local charging stations you can use, including two on Plymouth Road. As of April 2023, there is no railway station in Plympton, though there is a campaign to open one. Plymouth Citybus operates most bus services in the area.
Urban driving in Plympton 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 Plympton can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Your car's brake system is complex, consisting of pads, discs, callipers, brake fluid, ABS, rotors, a master cylinder, brake lines, backing plates and a handbrake. Many of these components wear down until you eventually must replace them.
Brake pads usually last between 20,000 and 60,000 miles, while brake discs last roughly 50,000 miles. Frequent harsh braking can considerably reduce the life of your car's brake system.
It can be challenging to tell what kind of car brake replacement or repair you need. An ABS fault, for example, will be indicated by a warning light on the dashboard. Alternatively, you might need to book a brake line repair if you notice your car pulling to one side.
There's no need to stress - A brake specialist will be able to tell you precisely what is wrong. Finding expert garages that work with genuine car parts has never been easier, thanks to FixMyCar.
