Well the wing mirrors went in. When I got back I opened the boot to the radio playing.

I have just experienced this. Parked at the shops and locked the car with the door button. Came back to find the radio still on. Drove home & the radio stopped on locking the car. A tad worrying as if it continues it might run dpwn the 12v battery

As I understand it you have a 6 hr charge window. If IGO charges your car from noon till 6 pm you still get 6 hrs at 7p from 23:30 till 05:30 only not for charging the car just for the house

I would add the e.v charger is a separate spur off the mains indeed I.e. after the DNO fuse and meter there are 2 feeds . 1 to the ev charger with separate circuit breaker and 1 to the master circuit breaker board

It feeds into the master circuit breaker board. There are 2 clamps. One feeds export to heat hot water. Any excess then goes to the batteries

I added batteries as a separate inverter. My solar array hasn't changed so no need to inform anyone.

What a great video

I am just doubling my battery capacity to 8.4 kWh. I am on IGO so I charge the batteries overnigh to 100% at 7p per unit if needed and when the sun shines I get 15 p export. I charge the car at 7p per unit. 4.2 kWh isn't enough to cover a cloudy winters day hence the increase as the supplier is...

Dosconnect the battery for 5 mins

Sounds like a dealer visit. Is the sos call not working?

I got the same on my Zs then in Dec it lost any connection & SOS not working light is on. The SOS button works but there are no bars on the display for the internal SIM card and the weather & satnav are awol. It gets serviced & hopefullly fixed 8th Jan

The A button when pressed in will put the handbrake on automatically as you come to a stop

Fully agree

I normally recharge around 40% when on short runs. On long runs I am fpr 20%. The lowest I hit was 9%
