You can easily get around by bus (most are run by Stagecoach Midlands), and Northampton train station is on a loop of the West Coast Main Line. The Silverstone circuit track, home of the British Grand Prix, is a few miles south of the town, and many Formula One cars are built in Northamptonshire.

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.
