Dagenham is famous in the motoring industry for the Ford sewing machinists' strike of 1968, which triggered the passing of the Equal Pay Act. Ford's automotive factory opened in the town in 1931 and produced almost eleven million cars before vehicle assembly ceased in 2002. Dagenham is just outside London's extended Ultra Low Emission Zone, which became eighteen times larger in 2021. The town is connected to London Underground services by three stations: Dagenham Heathway, Dagenham East and Becontree.

Urban driving in Dagenham may reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Dagenham can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

Dagenham is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ), both of which are designed to reduce air pollution in the city. The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day, and excludes the M25 motorway. It charges drivers of cars, vans, motorcycles and specialist vehicles that don't meet the emissions standards £12.50 a day. The LEZ also covers most of Greater London and specifically targets drivers of the most polluting diesel vehicles. It is enforced year-round, and the amount you pay varies. It usually ranges from £100-300 depending on your vehicle, and you can pay online. This guide explains everything you need to know about ULEZ and LEZ.

Cars need various liquids, such as engine oil, coolant, fuel, brake fluid and screenwash, which should be checked and topped up regularly. Sometimes, the systems that use these fluids degrade, resulting in the need for a car fluid leak repair.

You can do car leak detection at home by keeping an eye out for a few common signs and symptoms. You may need to book an oil leak repair if you spot dark puddles under your car or smoke from the engine. A strange, sweet smell accompanied by blue, green, orange or pink puddles could indicate you need to book a car coolant leak repair. On the other hand, a car aircon leak may have symptoms such as reduced airflow, lack of cool air and unusual noise from the system when operating.

Whether you need a car water, oil or tyre leak repair, you should book a repair as soon as possible because the problem will only worsen.
