Bristol has strong connections to the car industry thanks to the iconic British brand Bristol Cars. This manufacturer made vehicles for the rich and famous and rose to prominence after the Second World War. In 2021, an entrepreneur announced plans to revive the brand, to the delight of many fans. Unfortunately, a 2022 study of 25 major cities named Bristol the worst place to drive in Britain based on congestion, air quality, road condition, active bus routes and several other factors.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Bristol to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Bristol, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
Driving in cities like Bristol 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 Bristol for all these crucial components.
Diesel particulate filters are crucial because they capture and store exhaust soot to help reduce your car's emissions. Since 2009, all diesel cars have been required to have a DPF.
Passive regeneration is the primary way of keeping a DPF filter clean. It happens when the exhaust reaches a high temperature, typically while on a motorway. However, many cars don't reach this stage often enough, making the DPF clogged.
Find out how to avoid DPF problems in this guide.
When do I need a professional DPF clean? This is a common question. When the filter gets clogged up with soot, a warning light will usually appear on your dashboard, indicating you need to arrange a DPF filter cleaning or replacement. Other signs include black soot coming from your exhaust and decreased fuel efficiency.
To solve this problem, you could look for a garage that will carry out a DPF clean near you or book a mobile DPF cleaning service. Find out how much it's likely to cost in this guide.
