I’ve even had to jump the car with the emergency power connector, annoyingly and thankfully when the car is dead I can get it back awake and unplugged in 5 minutes I’ve done it that often, and most of the time I take a jump pack with me everywhere and leave it with the bonnet cracked.
It even died when I was using the granny charger, and I’ve always had the car plugged in when at home and still died.
I had a call from the dealer yesterday and they are replacing the DC-DC converter which charges the 12v battery.
I’m frustrated that Motability won’t replace a faulty car they’ll treated it as a cancellation and reorder which is horse-defecation as they are getting paid to supply a fit for purpose car, if something can’t be repaired the standard course is to replace or refund but I doubt they’ll give the AP back and all the PIP payments.
I mainly don’t want to reorder as it’s £4900 now as when I ordered it was £1250 as I had a first car discount, and the only okay EV options which aren’t astronomical are the Ford Exploder and not-Capri, which would also leave me without a car for work for months and my manager is already annoyed with the headaches I’ve had with this Volvo.
I’m already looking at fitting an external plug for my CTEK charger so I can leave the 12v on charge all the time.
