Sunderland is just 14 miles from Newcastle, roughly a 30-minute drive. In the late 20th century, the city became an automotive building centre, and there is still a highly successful manufacturing plant owned by Nissan, which has produced over 10.5 million vehicles. The busiest road in the Sunderland area is the A19, a dual-carriageway that runs north to south, providing access to the Tyne Tunnel. Most bus services in the area are run by Go North East, Stagecoach and Arriva.
Driving in cities like Sunderland 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 Sunderland for all these crucial components.
Since Sunderland 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 Sunderland.
The engine management light (EML) - also referred to as the check engine light - is a small engine symbol that becomes illuminated on your dashboard to indicate a problem, the severity of which is suggested by the colour of the light (red or yellow) and whether it stays on or flashes (usually due to misfires).
Many things can trigger the EML. Some are easy to fix, such as a loose fuel cap, while others are more expensive, such as a faulty catalytic converter. One of the most common reasons is a defective oxygen sensor - if your car is also experiencing a drop in fuel efficiency and black smoke from the exhaust, this is likely why.
Read this guide for more information about why the engine management light comes on and how to fix it.
You don't have to risk driving your car to a garage when the EML is illuminated. Instead, you can book a mobile mechanic, who will carry out an engine management light repair at a convenient location for you.
