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.
An immobiliser is a security device that prevents a vehicle from starting without the correct key fob. It usually disables two of the following: the fuel system, ignition or starter motor.
If you're having trouble unlocking or starting your car, you can't turn the car key, or the alarm is going off, you may need to call a car immobiliser specialist. However, check the battery in your key fob first, especially if you can't lock/unlock your car, as this is the most common cause of immobiliser issues.
Other potential causes include damaged wiring, faulty actuators or sensors, damaged receiver rings, and a faulty ECU, all of which require a car immobiliser fault repair.
Fortunately, car locksmiths usually offer mobile immobiliser repair, so you don't need to go to a garage, and they can add or remove keys from the immobiliser system if there is a problem with the coding.
