Can't charge the leisure battery from the engine

These are my current problems. It's going in on Tuesday to Breeze Poole. 25 reg PHEV. They claim it has had the battery/electrical system recall work done.

Leisure battery won't charge while driving, with or without 'max charge' function selected.

'Max charge' function will not charge either battery while stationary. This has worked once while parked on the drive, and only charged the leisure battery, but has not worked again since.

When in max charge, the battery icon next to 'engine power' will turn blue twice for a few seconds each time, then go black again, the 'engine power' reads 10W for a split second then goes back to 0, accompanied by a faint second-long 'burrr' sound from the engine bay (front of the vehicle).

Leisure battery will often drain to zero in less than a week without any use.

When plugged in to shore power, leisure battery will charge to 70% then stop, start draining, will not charge again until I unplug then plug in again. Always stops at 70%.

Camping mode drained vehicle battery, not leisure battery.

On our first camping trip, vehicle battery drained to zero from 5pm to 9.30pm after arriving at a campsite (no shore power) -use of lights and heater for about 30-40mins.
Ask the dealer for some compensation, the vehicle is not fit for the purpose it was intended!
