Newcastle is the most heavily populated city in the North East and the third best city for motorists in the UK. However, Newcastle's roads are notorious for potholes, which can cause cracked alloys, buckled wheels, lumps in tyres and incorrect tracking if you hit them regularly. The city is home to several iconic landmarks, most of which you can see from your car, including the Tyne Bridge, the Millennium Bridge and the Angel of the North.
A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Newcastle upon Tyne to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Newcastle upon Tyne, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.
Driving in cities like Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Newcastle upon Tyne for all these crucial components.
Since Newcastle upon Tyne 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 Newcastle upon Tyne.
When you start your car, the starter motor turns the engine over, allowing it to draw in air. It is powered by the car's battery and consists of a solenoid and a powerful direct-current electric motor.
Various problems can occur with the starter motor, such as faulty electrical connections, a damaged motor and a stiff or broken solenoid. If you're having problems starting your car, this is the most obvious sign you need to book a starter motor replacement. You may notice your vehicle fails to crank, the starter engages but doesn't spin the motor, the lights dim, or there is a grinding sound when you start the engine.
Can a starter motor be repaired? It is possible to repair some faults, but given the price of parts, replacing the whole unit is often cheaper. This guide discusses how much it costs for a repair - your chosen mechanic should advise you on the easiest and most economical option.
