Hi, can you tell me where I should connect the charger to on the car. I know the battery is in the boot and the charge connectors are in the front but which are the correct charge points please?
Thank you.

It would be correct to charge from either point, at the battery or under the boot lid. I prefer the underhood point, you can charge from there and still have the car go to "sleep".
