Oxford is famously not a car-friendly city, though it has a strong vehicle manufacturing history. Morris Motors was established in Oxford in 1910, and it has been home to the production site for Mini cars since 2000. In 2022, A pilot Zero Emissions Zone (ZEZ) was launched in the city centre, meaning all petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles will incur a daily charge for driving in the area, and there are various other traffic restrictions in place.
Oxford has a Zero Emission Zone to cut carbon emissions and improve air quality. Vehicles that produce zero emissions, such as fully electric cars, motorcycles and vans, can use the zone without incurring a charge. However, all petrol, diesel, and hybrid vehicles will be charged for driving in the ZEZ between 7 am and 7 pm unless they have an exemption or 100% discount. The zone is signalled by traffic signs and enforced using numberplate recognition cameras around Oxford. You can pay the charge online.
Driving in cities like Oxford 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 Oxford for all these crucial components.
Car suspension features four coil springs, one for each wheel. They are designed to absorb shocks from the road, such as driving over a pothole or speed bump, and they work in conjunction with shock absorbers.
Eventually, coil springs become fatigued with age, which means they have endured many compression-extension cycles, causing the metal to become brittle. When this happens, it's time for a coil spring replacement. This job typically takes one to three hours for front springs and one to one and a half for rear springs.
A coil spring usually lasts between 60,000 and 90,000 miles. Signs you may need new springs include: excessive tyre wear, visible rust or corrosion on the springs, excessive leaning or swaying, compromised handling and worn or missing jounce bumpers. A rear or front coil spring repair is always done by replacing the springs; once the metal becomes brittle, it can't be repaired.
