Frequently asked questions
- What is a starter motor?
It is the component responsible for turning over or ‘cranking’ the engine to start the car. It is powered by the car battery, and battles both high friction and compression resistance to get your car up and running
- Where is the start motor located?
The starter motor can be found underneath the car on the driver’s side, it is just below the left cylinders.
- How long do starter motors last?
On average, a starter motor should function in your vehicle for 5 to 7 years. However, they can both die prematurely and last a lot longer than expected, often with no deciding factors.
- What are the signs of a bad starter motor?
To decipher whether your starter motor is faulty you can look out for these telltale signs:
● A clicking noise when key turned on switched to start
● Smoke coming from the car
● The starter is soaked in oil
● The engine just will not crank
● A grinding noise when starting up
- How long does starter motor replacement take?
The process of removing a faulty starter motor and replacing it with a new one generally takes around 2 to 4 hours. The length is dependent on how easy it is to access and remove the part.
- What causes a starter to become faulty?
Occasionally it is simply age, as all starters will wear out overtime. Other causes include:
● Incorrect connections
● Faulty solenoid switches
● Wiring issues
- Can you jump-start a bad starter?
No, jump starting a faulty starter will not spring it back to life as extra battery will not be enough to turn over the engine. Your starter needs to be functioning well to successfully crank the engine.

TfL's Ultra Low Emission Zone contains the entire borough of Hackney, so you may have to pay a charge depending on your vehicle. Hackney also has ultra-low emissions streets in five areas to the south, including Tabernacle Street, Charlotte Road, Singer Street and Cowper Street. Although Hackney has just one underground station, three London Overground lines serve the borough. Did you know that, despite their misleading name, London's famous Hackney carriages don't actually have anything to do with Hackney?
Driving in cities like Hackney 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 Hackney for all these crucial components.
Hackney 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.
