Greenford is in the Borough of Ealing, where people drove 0.78 billion miles in 2021. It also falls inside London's Low Emission Zone (LEZ), so depending on the type of vehicle you own, you may have to pay a charge. Buses in the area are operated by Transport for London, and there are two railway stations: Greenford and South Greenford. Both are on the Greenford branch line to West Ealing, served by Great Western Railway services.

Urban driving in Greenford 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 Greenford can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

Greenford 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.

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.

Diesel engine repair jobs are often more expensive than petrol, although diesel cars are more reliable and economical over long distances. The main difference between petrol and diesel engines is that, in the latter, the air is compressed before the fuel is injected, while in the former, air and fuel are mixed first, then compressed and ignited.The most common problems experienced by diesel engines include a clogged diesel particulate filter, stuck EGR valve, turbo failure, worn glow plugs, faulty injectors and low compression. Due to the chemicals and processes involved, some jobs, such as DPF cleaning, may require a diesel engine specialist service. Many of the above faults have similar symptoms, so the best way to find the specific problem with your vehicle is to use diesel engine diagnostics.If you're experiencing issues with your car, we recommend finding a diesel specialist who can give you expert advice.
