The main roads in Wisbech are the A47, which travels to Norwich further east and Peterborough further west. The nearest motorway is the A1(M). Once you've dropped your car off at a garage of your choice, the best way to travel in Wisbech is by bus. The station is on Horse Fair, and Stagecoach is the leading provider. There are regular services to March and King's Lynn. Unfortunately, there is no railway station in Wisbech.
Wisbech is in a rural area where you're likely to encounter uneven road surfaces and sharp turns, putting strain on your tyres and suspension. Regularly inspecting these components and following our tyre maintenance advice will help prevent any problems from developing. When driving through the countryside near Wisbech, keep an eye out for animals and livestock on the road to avoid braking suddenly, and be aware of other road users since there may be unmarked blind bends. Country roads sometimes flood during heavy rainfall, so check the forecast and take it slow through patches of water to avoid aquaplaning.
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.
