## Expired AdBlue in Cotgrave — what is different locally
Around Cotgrave the vehicle is as likely to be on a forecourt or a verge as on a driveway, so the first question on the call is whether it is in a safe position to be worked on where it stands.

Specialist SCR workshops in Nottinghamshire are scattered, and the nearest one to Cotgrave may not be the nearest one that can actually clear this particular fault. Light commercial density around Cotgrave means a fair share of calls are fleet vehicles where the driver and the owner are different people, and the decision has to be made by someone not standing at the vehicle.

Where a vehicle is on contract or on a job, the cheapest outcome is almost always the one that avoids a recovery movement, even if the roadside work costs more per hour. Because Nottinghamshire sees sustained cold, the first thing to establish on a level warning in January is whether the fluid has simply not thawed yet.

Whether this job is a roadside one depends on the direction of contamination rather than on the postcode. Normally put right by a drain and flush, provided the engine has not been run. Coverage runs across Nottinghamshire on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.
