Dagenham is famous in the motoring industry for the Ford sewing machinists' strike of 1968, which triggered the passing of the Equal Pay Act. Ford's automotive factory opened in the town in 1931 and produced almost eleven million cars before vehicle assembly ceased in 2002. Dagenham is just outside London's extended Ultra Low Emission Zone, which became eighteen times larger in 2021. The town is connected to London Underground services by three stations: Dagenham Heathway, Dagenham East and Becontree.
Urban driving in Dagenham 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 Dagenham can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
Dagenham 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.
Central locking allows you to open all your car's doors simultaneously, either using a mechanical key or pressing the remote control button. Some of the most common reasons your vehicle's central locking might not work include a faulty actuator, a blown fuse and a dead key fob or car battery.
Because there are several possible reasons your central locking isn't working, an auto locksmith must assess which type of central locking repair is appropriate.
For example, if your car door won't open, this is likely due to broken connections within the lock assembly or door panel, requiring a car lock repair. On the other hand, if the issue is related to your key, you may need a car key replacement.
Since central locking problems usually mean you can't drive your car, most auto locksmiths offer mobile central locking repairs.
