Dagenham is famous in the motoring industry for the Ford sewing machinists' strike of 1968, which triggered the passing of the Equal Pay Act. Ford's automotive factory opened in the town in 1931 and produced almost eleven million cars before vehicle assembly ceased in 2002. Dagenham is just outside London's extended Ultra Low Emission Zone, which became eighteen times larger in 2021. The town is connected to London Underground services by three stations: Dagenham Heathway, Dagenham East and Becontree.

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

Dagenham 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.

Car window tinting involves applying a tinting film, usually made of polyester laminate, onto the inside of the glass window. This guide discusses how much it's likely to cost.

There are several benefits: it reduces UV radiation, gives extra privacy, stops the interior from fading in the sun and keeps heat in your vehicle (which is particularly beneficial during winter).

Does having a window tint also reduce heat? Yes - a window tint blocks sunlight from entering your car, so it stays cooler. It's a win-win!

What is the darkest legal tint? There aren't any rules about tinting the rear windscreen or rear passenger windows. However, the law for front and side windows is based on the age of the vehicle. For vehicles used before April 1985, the windows must let at least 70% of light through; for vehicles used more recently, the windscreen must allow at least 75% of light through, and 70% for passenger windows.
