Distance to a marque dealer from Birtley is the single biggest variable in what this ends up costing, and it is worth settling before anything is towed. Operators around Birtley tend to run vehicles hard and top up from bulk, which puts fluid quality rather than driver error at the top of the likely-cause list.
