Not enough windy days, too expensive to install and too much maintenance needed for domestic wind generation to have acceptable ROI, IMHO - unless you live on very windy hillside.

(y) Impressive

Oy.. don't confuse me more than I am naturally... today's Saturday, isn't it :unsure:

I did :) But then I have solar to charge it :)

Is that an Android phone? If so, do you have GPS/location disabled (like I do)? For some nefarious reasons, Google require location to be enabled for BT to pair.

What do you have to do - we're on regular Octopus Go?

@tsedge - what's your view on reduction gear oil changes? Ironically when I was looking at Kia's that seemed to be a big thing worth doing (if you're going to keep the vehicle a while), yet wasn't on the manufacturer's schedule.

Out of interest, what are the prices like for the lamppost chargers?

(y) yes, it's (currently) a £425 supplement on top of the standard £195, payable for the first 5 years, though payable from year 2 (as first year is only £10). IIUC, that is.

I bet Waylands will make you an offer you can't refuse before those 5 years are up ;)

Maybe Cyberster drivers are not expected to have other cars that close behind ? 🏎️🏁

:giggle: That would certainly be my stance - especially for a relatively simple circuit. You can get component failures that are temperature dependent - so only present a problem when they get hot, but unlikely IMHO to be the case here. Fingers crossed.

(y) def worth a try.... being only about 40-50p each (if you buy them in packs of 6-10 for the moggy). PCB looks pretty simple too.

Sadly these days, with multi-layer PCBs and surface mounted components, there is little scope for board-level repair of such devices. Drying out the fob for a few days (airing cupboard / conservatory etc.) is a worthwhile and free exercise, but I wouldn't hold your breath. With a discharge...
