Thought I would update here with the outcome in case it's helpful for anyone else. Peugeot were about as helpful as you'd expect (not very) and weren't willing to remove the OBC so that I could have it repaired elsewhere. They also didn't have a Chademo charger on site. For anyone who is able...

Many thanks for your tips. I'm not someone who'd be able to fix it myself, but I will certainly try the contacts you suggested. I wonder if I could get Peugeot to post the faulty OBC to the repair guy. The nearest Chademo place is about 7 miles from the Peugeot garage where the car is, and I...

Hi everyone. It seems the on-board charger of our 2012 Peugeot iOn has given up and died. Have had some intermittent troubles with charging over the last few years but suddenly got some warning lights (12V battery, and main electrical system), accompanied by not being able to charge the car at...

I don't really have anything to comment on the last two posts as I'm only guessing myself with all of this. But just to update on my own situation with intermittent charging failures. My dad helped me lubricate the park/drive/reverse selector at the back of the car last November. This did seem...

Ok, I left the car unused overnight and got some multimeter Voltage readings from the 12V battery: Before turning anything on: 12.94 Ignition on/READY (the radio happened to be on, if relevant) 14.67 Plugged in to wall box charger (this seemed to be a successful charge) 14.65 Do those look...

Thank you kiev, I do have a multimeter so I will check how the 12V is performing. I also appreciate the tip about batteries off the shelf that may have run down! Interesting, thanks for sharing your experience! I am intrigued by this and will definitely try to check it out. You have actually...

Hi everyone. I have a 2012 Peugeot iOn, in my possession since 2019. 12V battery replaced in 2019. I'm in England, UK. I'm having some issues charging it at home, but it's kind of intermittent, and I want to pin down where the problem is - I'm not even sure yet whether it's the charge point I...

All sorted, thanks everyone! My dad came and helped me fit the new battery, we used some jumper leads to keep either the old or the new battery connected to the car throughout so didn't need a radio code thankfully. I have since been enjoying a luxuriously warm bum, and will appreciate not...

Thanks once again for everyone's advice. I have ordered a new 12V battery and plan to fit it this weekend. I had a read through the guide on Go Green Autos, and the only thing now on my mind is the Radio Security Code. Is there a way to verify this before you get started? I have the car's...

Thank you both for your advice. So basically heated seat cover is fine unless you're just parked without either charging or being in 'ready' mode. Which is great cos Chademo in December is getting to be a chilly experience thus far! Except it's probably not fine if your 12V battery is 7 years...

Hi everyone, I wonder if you can share your collective experience and tell me whether using a heated seat cover connected to the 12V/cigarette lighter outlet will strain the 12V battery too much? If I've understood things correctly, whilst driving (or in 'Ready' mode) the 12V battery is being...
