I use my portable EVSE with a solar switch wired into the pilot signal. So far this month I've put in 498 miles for free.

Having worked over 30 years in the NHS, I've come across some corkers. These are the ones that come to mind: Honor Commode. Norman Conquest. Kumdan Singh. I also heard of a Helen Bach, but can't confirm that one.

I have a Vektra thermos kettle. You can set the temperature and it keeps the water hot for when you are ready for another cuppa. If it's cooled down too much, it's just a quick reboil as the water is still relatively hot. Best kettle I've ever had.

Something similar, but the warnings cleared themselves. Try the 10mm spanner Alt-Ctrl-Del.

Let the dealership know that in writing and consider using recorded delivery so that you have evidence of the date.

Just because they didn't find a fault doesn't mean there isn't one. You could argue that they aren't competent enough to locate it and should refer it to their headquaters in Longbridge.

I would use a template letter as it has the appropriate wording for the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

If it is metres, that would make more sense, in which case they've screwed you over. I would send AA office a highlighted copy of the T&C's and a copy of the receipt and ask for a full refund.

If the dealership gets awkward, Moneysavingexpert.com has some useful complaint letter templates which tend to get results.

I did an experiment today while waiting for her indoors to do a bit of shopping. I asked Google to navigate to Burnham-on-sea, roughly 10 miles away, which it did. I then asked it to show chargers on route, to which it showed me chargers nearby. I then asked it to show me chargers within 3...
