Burton upon Trent is in Staffordshire, where 5.31 billion vehicle miles were travelled in 2021. The A38 - which connects Burton to Derby and Birmingham - sees many car accidents, so drive carefully. Locals have identified the junction at St Peter's Bridge at the Orchard Street and Lichfield Street roundabout as one of the worst for congestion. Arriva and Diamond East Midlands operate buses in the area, and you can access the train station from the bridge on Borough Road.

Power steering is designed to reduce the effort required by the driver to turn the steering wheel. Without this system, the steering in your car would be extremely heavy, making it challenging to do low-speed manoeuvres.

Common problems requiring a power steering repair include low or leaking power steering fluid, loose or broken belts, worn hoses and a damaged pump. You should contact a power steering specialist if you notice any of the following symptoms:

• Stiff steering
• A squealing or whining noise
• Vibrations felt through the steering wheel
• Low or discoloured power steering fluid

Most cars need a power steering fluid flush every 40,000 to 80,000 miles, and this distance is usually specified in the owner's manual. If it has been longer than the recommended distance since your vehicle's system was flushed, booking a power steering and fluid service should be a priority.
