Birmingham is the second-largest city in the UK, so you're sure to be spoilt for choice when choosing a garage. Getting around the city is easy, with eight local rail lines, trams run by West Midlands Metro and regular buses by Arriva. There is a congestion charge zone, known as the Birmingham Clean Air Zone, inside the A4540 Middleway Ring Road. You may have to pay if you enter it. Did you know Birmingham was the first city in the U.K. to have a hydrogen fill-up point for cars?

A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Birmingham 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 Birmingham, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.

You may encounter a congestion charge in some parts of Birmingham. Congestion charges are used to reduce the number of vehicles driving in a busy area, often a city centre, by making drivers pay a daily tariff to enter them. The charging zone usually operates at certain times, and once you have paid, you can leave, drive around and re-enter it as many times as you would like within that day.

Driving in cities like Birmingham puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic.

Car electric window systems usually have a control switch connected by two circuits to a motor in each door, wired to the battery and the car's electrical system. One circuit and switch position moves the windows up; the other moves them down.

Several components can break or malfunction: the motor, fuse, window regulator, switch or cable pulley could be to blame. If any of these stops working, you'll need to book a car electric window repair.

Who can fix electric car windows? Many mechanics can do this type of repair, though if you want a specialist, it's best to find an auto electrician, especially if you suspect the problem is related to the wiring.

If you're wondering whether you'll need an electric window replacement or repair, most of the time, it's a single component that needs replacing to fix the problem rather than the whole unit.
