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.
It's important to promptly take care of a chipped car windscreen because it could develop into a crack. The good news is that, as long as the chip is small and you catch it early, you can book a car windscreen repair, which is cheaper than a replacement.
Check out our ultimate guide to windscreen repairs to learn more.
For a repair, the chip must be smaller than a £2 coin, at least 3cm from the windscreen's edge and outside the driver's line of sight. You'll need to book a car windscreen replacement if the chip doesn't meet these criteria.
Replacing a broken car windscreen can be simplified into four steps. First, a protective covering is placed around the windscreen area, and the seals or glue that holds the glass in place are cut from the car. Next, a primer agent is applied to the framework, and the glass is replaced. You should use professional car windscreen fitters for this job.
