Over 60% of Sheffield's total area is green space, and a third of the city is within the Peak District National Park. Roads can be difficult to navigate in these areas due to sharp bends, blind spots and bad weather. Snake Pass is a notoriously challenging road many drivers avoid, especially in winter. If you need to get around Sheffield without a car, Sheffield Interchange is the city's primary bus hub; other stations are at Meadowhall, Hillsborough and Halfway.
Driving in cities like Sheffield 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 Sheffield for all these crucial components.
Ticking and rattling are two closely related noises you might hear from your car. If you listen closely to where the sound is coming from and when it happens (while accelerating, for instance), you might be able to work out the cause.
The first thing to check is whether the engine oil is low, requiring a top-up - this is the best-case scenario. If your car is rattling and the sound is coming from the engine, it could be caused by a loose serpentine belt or timing chain. From the car's rear, it might be a loose exhaust or a broken catalytic converter, and the other possibility is worn suspension, which can cause rattling from the front or rear of the vehicle.
Possible explanations for ticking include worn spark plugs, knocking engine rods, dirty valve lifters and misaligned valves. You can learn more about these issues here.
Ticking and rattling noises should be taken seriously as they sometimes indicate a problem with the engine that could cause further damage if ignored.

We think they're great. But don't just take our word for it...
They did the fixes I asked for, they were really helpful. They also caught a pump that was damaged which was adjacent to the work that was being done.
Great work and communication, Highly recommend."
Very good
