Hackney 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.

AdBlue is a diesel exhaust fluid sprayed in small amounts onto exhaust gas, turning the NOx into less harmful nitrogen and water. If your car runs out of AdBlue while driving, its performance will be significantly reduced; when you stop the engine, it won't start again until you refill the tank.

Pump failure is one of the most common issues associated with the AdBlue system. Fortunately, an AdBlue pump repair or replacement isn't usually costly. Other problems include contamination and failure of the nozzle, NOx sensor and the AdBlue control unit.

You'll need to book an AdBlue system repair if your car develops any of these faults. Most of the time, the mechanic will run an AdBlue fault diagnostic first. Booking a car AdBlue service, which involves a top-up of fluid and a general check of the system's components, can help prevent the above issues.
