The charging from the drivers side has stopped working as a white bar has come across the charging point preventing the charger going right in. Apparently this is due to excessive use of a fast charger (which I very rarely do). Has anyone had similar problems?

I have not had this problem, but could it be that you are seeing the "locking pin" that is supposed to engage when you insert the charging head and start the charging cycle? Under the hood there are two "pull strings" located near the charging port. One allows you to manually open the charging door. The other allows you to retract the "charging pin". Maybe for some reason your pin has engaged without having the charging head inserted. You should check your manual.
