If the SCR system needs component replacement — dosing injector, pump, tank or catalyst — that is separate, and you will be told before any work starts. If this is a job we cannot fix at the roadside, we will tell you that on the phone rather than after we arrive.

Petrol in the AdBlue tank in Tranent — what is different locally
Tranent covers a wide catchment in Lothian, and a good share of calls come from the A-road network rather than from home addresses, which changes how quickly a van can be positioned safely.
Distance to a marque dealer from Tranent is the single biggest variable in what this ends up costing, and it is worth settling before anything is towed. A mixed fleet around Tranent means a mixed set of failures: nozzle errors on the commercial side, bottle errors on the domestic side, and quality faults from bulk tanks on both.
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. Cold mornings in Lothian produce a run of calls that turn out to be nothing more than fluid below −11 °C in a tank that has not yet warmed, and telling that apart from a real fault saves a wasted visit.
None of the local detail changes the verdict: the direction of contamination decides what is recoverable, and the postcode does not. Frequently needs SCR component work rather than a drain. Quoted before a technician travels. Coverage runs across Lothian on the same basis, with volume and disposal priced in before anyone sets off.

Common questions
What if my vehicle is already at a garage in Tranent?
That is fine. The work is mobile, so it happens wherever the vehicle is standing — a forecourt, a yard, a driveway or somebody else's workshop.
Will I need recovery from Tranent?
Only if the SCR system needs component work that cannot be done where the vehicle is. That determination is made on the phone before anything is booked.
Can this be done at the roadside?
The drain and flush, yes. Metering pump replacement usually cannot. You will be told which of those you are looking at on the phone rather than after a technician arrives.
