The A34, also known as Stratford Road, is the main route through Shirley. It connects to the M42 motorway, which bypasses the town to the southeast. You may also want to compare prices from garages in Birmingham since it's only nine miles away. National Express operates most bus services in Shirley. The railway station is on Haslucks Green Road, and trains run on the North Warwickshire Line, with destinations including Stratford-upon-Avon and Birmingham Moor Street.
Urban driving in Shirley may reduce fuel efficiency due to increased braking and accelerating, which also places greater strain on your engine. Slow-moving traffic reduces the airflow through your car's radiator, making the cooling system work harder, so you should check the coolant level regularly and top up as needed. Your brakes and suspension will also likely wear down quickly as you navigate busy roads with potholes. Since driving in Shirley can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.
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.
