Hi all, I noticed the main (fixed) pedal is at an angle and not fully screwed in. Noticed this this morning on my commute. My P line is only a couple of months old and I can't think what would have caused this (e.g. I haven't dropped it, had any accidents etc). Any tips / advice please? I tried using an Allen key to remove the pedal but it was too stiff…

Never tightened properly at the store. It would have loosened during use. I would assume the threads are now damaged. Go back to your shop and get a replacement crankset.
Honestly, you would have felt it while pedaling so it must have happened between your last ride and now. Remove it and try to install it again. It threads is damaged might have to get new crank arm and new pedal
Since it’s stuck you’ll likely need a new crank since the threads sound damaged disappointing oversight on a nearly new Brompton it should have been tightened prior to delivery.
