Canning Town is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone. It is served by the A13 road, which travels east to Shoeburyness and west to Whitechapel; the A124, which links to Upminster; and the A1011, which connects to Stratford and Silvertown, the latter being just two miles away. If you need public transport, Canning Town's bus station is on Silvertown Way, with services to destinations including East Ham and Trafalgar Square. There is a London Underground station on the same street.

Urban driving in Canning Town 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 Canning Town can be tough on your car, following a regular servicing schedule is even more important.

Canning Town is in London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Low Emission Zone (LEZ), both of which are designed to reduce air pollution in the city. The ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, every day except Christmas Day, and excludes the M25 motorway. It charges drivers of cars, vans, motorcycles and specialist vehicles that don't meet the emissions standards £12.50 a day. The LEZ also covers most of Greater London and specifically targets drivers of the most polluting diesel vehicles. It is enforced year-round, and the amount you pay varies. It usually ranges from £100-300 depending on your vehicle, and you can pay online. This guide explains everything you need to know about ULEZ and LEZ.

The wet belt controls the engine's timing by synchronising the camshaft and crankshaft. Unlike a cambelt, it is housed in the engine and lubricated with oil. It needs replacing at the correct intervals because it can cause severe engine damage if it fails.

Ford, Peugeot, Volkswagen, Vauxhall and Citroen all use wet belts in some models. You can find out what type of timing chain or belt your car uses by checking your owner's manual.

In addition to replacing your car's wet belt at the recommended intervals, it's essential to maintain the right engine oil level and use the correct oil to prevent premature wear and tear. Contamination is one of the leading causes of wet belt-related engine problems.

Replacing a wet belt might seem expensive, but it's absolutely worth it. The chances are that it will cost less than fixing the damage if the belt fails.
