Windsor has three links to the motorway network: via the M3 ten miles south; the M4, which is three miles north; and the M25, five miles east. Access to the town is provided primarily by the A308 and A332. Drivers of electric vehicles benefit from several charging stations, including on Sheet Street and Clarence Road. Windsor is home to two railway stations (Central and Riverside), and there are regular buses to Maidenhead, Slough and Ascot.

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.
