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.
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.
