72% of Plymouth households have access to a car or van. The A38 dual carriageway, known as "The Parkway," runs from east to west of the city, representing the boundary between the old parts and the newly developed areas. Driving in Plymouth is relatively easy, but Crownhill Junction can be challenging for people unfamiliar with the area because it is a modified Cloverleaf junction, which is very unusual. Bus services are mainly provided by Stagecoach South West and Plymouth Citybus.
Driving in cities like Plymouth 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 Plymouth for all these crucial components.
Since Plymouth is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Plymouth.
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 the air is compressed before the fuel is injected in diesels, while in petrols, 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.
