The charging is supposed to be controlled by Octopus under their intelligent go tariff that gives good rate between 11.30 pm and 05.30am. I have turned off the charge timers in the car and am using the 3 pin granny charger that has no timer function. When I plug in and switch on the charger starts charging as indicated by the pulsing light on both charger and car. After a short time Octopus recognises that I want to charge, presumably a signal from the car, and they tell the car to stop the charge and send me their proposed schedule, on their app of charging through the cheap rate period. I have been doing this for the two years or so that I have owned the car. The problems started about 3 months ago after I started getting messages that the 12v battery was low. After replacing the battery, including telling the car that it had been changed, the first charge worked fine, but since then nothing but trouble. I have noticed that after a failed attempt to charge one of the car timers that I have turned off is showing that it as set up for a charge some days in the future and has mysteriously turned itself on, definitely not by me! The only settings I have made are in the Octopus app - Level of charge required and by what time

Alan. Do you intend to publicly respond to the replies you have received on both these topics? I know you have seen them.

Hi Cliff, yes it did have a front knock and new light and bumper i believe. Can the headlight be adjusted?

Hi ok I appreciate this where would I get the kit from? Also where is it located on the transmission? Thanks Gary

Dev. I don't believe the headlight has been misaligned for its ten year existence, so what has recently changed? Has the car been crashed and a new unit fitted?
