If you want to book a cambelt change in Ilford, you can compare quotes from our network of thousands of garages and mechanics, find the best price and instantly book online.
Ilford is on the transport corridor between coastal Essex and London, with the central railway station and the A12 linking the two. As of 2022, it is outside the Ultra Low Emission Zone, while all exits facing central London are inside the zone, including Romford Road. London Buses link Ilford to other districts in central and east London. If you'd rather travel by train, Ilford station is on the Great Eastern Main Line between Manor Park and Seven Kings.
Urban driving in Ilford 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 Ilford can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Ilford 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.
The cambelt is responsible for synchronising the rotation of the camshaft and crankshaft. Hence, it is also called the timing belt. Often, drivers book a cambelt and water pump change together to save time and money.
FixMyCar has an excellent network of cambelt specialists who will advise you on the best course of action.
Three common signs your cambelt needs replacing are a squealing noise when you start the engine, problems getting your car to start, and a glazed or glossy look to the belt. Although a snapped cambelt is uncommon, tension issues are not. A loose cambelt will whip around the engine, causing knock-on effects, while a tight belt usually causes a whining sound and puts pressure on the bearings of the cogs it is fitted to.
Whether you went to book a regular timing belt replacement or a mobile timing belt replacement, you're in the right place.
