I have a car which uses Adblue (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) to keep emissions legal (Euro6); most newer diesels will need it too. Last year I had to top it up for the first time and this deal got some interest then so, having used that supply up, I've found Unipart's deal is still the best. Cheapest if you can collect from store but I've ordered two 10 litre cans for the single shipment price of £3.75, which seems OK given the size/weight of them.
Car takes 12 litres to fill. Local franchised dealer wanted £3.50/litre to fill it bulk in their workshop or £8 for each 1.89 litre bottle to 'take away'. Terrible rip off and I've heard some places charge much more. Shell fuel station wanted £10 for 1.89 litres!
I did some shopping around and cheapest place I could find on the high street was Halfords: £14.99 for 4 litres.
Internet search came up with Unipart Autostore still doing a half price deal: £9.99 for a full 10 litres. Cheaper than the others by mile.
Consumption varies according to vehicle usage but I'm finding my car uses a litre in around 1,000 miles. It's a bit of a pain having to use this stuff but it makes a massive difference to the emissions and these Euro6 vehicles really aren't the villains that earlier diesels can be.
ordered 2 for £9.18 each with 5.25% cashback on top = £8.72 for 10 litres
Your local Peugeot dealer will top up your AdBlue® tank with 10 litres of fluid for a fixed price of £9.99, if a top up is needed before the scheduled service.
Contact your local Peugeot dealer to arrange a refill as soon as necessary. This is a quick and simple thing to do, so we offer it as part of our while-you-wait service.

Only emmisions from my cycling commute to work is from eating too many beans the night before... :confused:
So, Adblue removes one of the primary concerns of diesel emmisions.
2) New petrols actually emmit 10x MORE particulates than modern diesel engines.

Facinating that diesels are getting cleaner and cleaner and petrols are getting dirtier and dirtier.
Shame that none of this is common knowledge, and the headline that gets pushed everywhere is "Diesel is bad"
The government are thinking about pushing people away from diesels to modern petrols, and are making a huge mistake if they choose to do so.
Like I said in post: used that up and this was still the best deal I could find. There must be a lot more cars out there needing it now and it's a shock the first time the warning light comes on and you discover how much some places charge. It takes a minimum of 4 litres to put the light out on mine so if i don't plan ahead it would cost around £30 just to do that a fuel station.

Thanks. That link seems to be at least 3 years old - will they still do it for £9.99 and will they do it for other makes?

I've had this warning message pop up on my 10 months old Audi Q3 about Adblue, and to be brutally frank I haven't a clue what it means. Where does one apply the aforementioned 'Adblue'?

Depends on the make and model. Some have it in the boot, some have it next to the diesel inlet on the side of the car.
The cap is coloured blue if that helps.
