May be totally unrelated, but I've noticed on the couple occasions I've parked my Mk1 at a local petrol station to buy a pie, it won't lock. It's really weird and the only place it's happened. Once the car was reluctant to start as well, which was both worrying and potentially humiliating...

Curious, as I usually granny charge and balance regularly. I thought the original BMS was 455v and the new one 448; so how have I got a fruit loop of a car with 452?

Hmmm ... and losing 3v (from 455 to 452) in under 10km seems quite a significant depletion. Due for fist service in Feb, so will discuss this with dealer then.

My usual suspect is aircon. If it left on when you put the car on to chare, it immediately deducts ~30 kilometres from the range. And it is easy to leave it on on a low setting.
