According to the Tesla app, the Thetford chargers have been temporarily closed for around a month. I haven't been able to check whether my car was updated or not yet. I may be trying elsewhere on Sunday.

My pre Fl LR is booked in for its 2nd service at Crayford & Abbs on Monday. I'll ask them to do the update and let you know how it goes.

I charged there twice last week. No problems other than its quite busy there. I had to queue the second time. I used the Ovo Bonnet app, you get the option of paying £2 for a months worth of 10% discount with that.

This is mine for Feb. Quite a bit of motorway this month. All in N and KERS3 with heating at 21 or 22°C.

Yes, it has two pockets. Like I said it's worn out after four years use. My wife has one too. It gets little use and still works.

If you need a receipt I suggest getting Octopus Electroverse App and also Ovo/ Bonnet. You can register your payment card with these and charge at many of the charge points. You'll also get a receipt you can download if you need it.

I bought one from Amazon four years ago. After reading this thread I thought I'd better try it again. I stood next to the car with the key in the pouch and unlocked the car with the door button. Worn out, who knows when it stopped working. I've put the key in a round metal sweet tin we carry in...

If you link your Chase card to your electroverse account you could get both.

I opened a Chase account, mainly for the1% cashback on card spending. They also send you a message to say when you'll have to use your pin next time. I think it's every £300.

I noticed my car had failed to start a charge late one night. I tried a different lead and it connected. Next morning I tried my normal lead again but it still didn't charge on that. I tested the lead for both continuity and insulation resistance and it checked out OK. Next I opened the plugs...

You can program the Pod Point App to schedule a charge. Just tap home in the app and set your times. It takes a few minutes to register, so don't leave it till the last minute.

If you drive towards the sun you sometimes get this, more often now when it's low in the sky.

You are not alone, though it will be no consolation. My next door neighbour took her VW Up for an mot at a VW dealership. It failed as the rear fog light didn't work, it needs a new unit. She can't drive it without an MOT, so it's still at the garage. 12 weeks tomorrow and counting. They've told...

I've been doing that since I got my LR pre facelift on October the 10th last year. I'll post my figures for the year after the 10th.

British Gas works out slightly cheaper than Octopus Go for me at the moment. You get 5 hours at cheap rate too.
