Not sure if we're doing something wrong, or it's kaput.

Had our Leaf since May, had the wallpod fitted at the same time. Worked fine, charge timer set to charge overnight, no problems.

Then we started having a couple of mornings where the car hadn't taken any charge. Coloured LED ring not lit with any colour. Not a massive problem, our commute is 20-30 miles round trip. Quick flick of the breaker on the unit, and back up and running the next night.

Called the installers who said that as it was an intermittent problem, it was most likely something wrong with the car. This didn't seem likely with how things were going, so just said fine, and hung up.

Happened a bit more frequently, until now, the LED was off, so switched it on and off. Tried plugging it in, LED went straight off, like it was tripping the breaker. The breaker is still intact, so something else is stopping it working.

As an emergency measure, it's plugged in via granny cable, but haven't got a suitably close plug (why would I need one when I paid for a charging point) and having it plugged in to an extension is making me nervous.

Anyone got any insight into problems with these units?
