Ad Blue and Engine warning lights

We are just on our first proper trip with the 2017 Peugeot Boxer 130 van that I am converting. Driving down the Motorway I thought I would try out the cruise control which I had not used on this vehicle before. As soon as I tried to use it a warning flashed up saying Check Adblue followed by another warning saying Check Engine and the Engine Auto Diagnosis symbol illuminated. It was too much of a coincidence that this happened when I operated the cruise control system. The engine was running smoothly and had plenty of power. I did put a bit more Adblue in before this journey.

The Adblue had been topped up fully a few months back, but a short time afterwards, the Adblue warning came on and then a few days later it would not start. A handy neighbour had a full diagnostic kit and checked it out resettting a number of historical issues and everything cleared and no more problems until this.

I am of course now worried that I am 200 miles from home with no way of contacting that neighbour and the Adblue problem might stop the van starting again. I have a basic OBD2, but of course that is at home. I am competing in events tomorrow and Sunday and will not be able to get to a garage.
Does anyone have any ideas or know any checks that I can carry out or ways to reset the error flags. Thanks for any help.
 
We had similar with the Adblue said Adblue low topped up only took a litre light still on drove 1000 miles topped up couple of litres warning still on drove to Newhaven ferry to Dieppe few miles WILL NOT RESTART IN 415 MILES.Turned back to Dieppe no ferry available so drove to Calais back to Dover by the time we got to Peterborough Van will not restart on dash.Droe on to home parked up 3am.Next got Diagbox hooked up told ECU Adblue full,van starts drives 10 miles no warnings then Adblue low fortunately was on the way to have Adblue delete done.£250 no more Adblue hassle...guy offered to map engine but said not a good idea as boxer(2020) gearbox very prone to trouble
