Eco start stop issue

Hi all. Recently bought a freelander 2 2009 reg. the eco stop start wasn’t working, and handbrake needed sorting. Fixed handbrake and the start stop started working again. Only a day later it stops engine but then starts it up 3 seconds later with no pedals pressed etc. Any ideas? It was working fine yesterday.

There are a number of variables that can impact on stop/start working or otherwise. The most common are:

Engine not at normal operating temperature.
Battery not fully charged or not holding full charge.
Ambient air temperature between 4 and 40 degrees (one and 40 for 2010 MY onwards).
Radio/sound system putting load on battery.
Climate control putting too much load on battery.

All of which could lead to it doing what you experienced.

I'd check your battery condition as the first step.

The stop start in most cases is very hit or miss in operation. In order to work at all there are loads of conditions and parameters that have to be met including battery charge, battery load , outside temp ,engine temp etc. Members have reported that their stop start will not work for weeks on end, then suddenly start working again for no apparent reason. Others will say its not worth having for the small saving on fuel versus the extra wear to starter and ring gear. My own thoughts are if it`s fitted to the car then it should work. It might be worth giving your battery a charge as low battery voltage is a very common reason for the stop start playing up and is listed as a reason for the engine automatically restarting after an autostop. Good luck!

You say ...... Hi all. Recently bought a freelander 2 2009 reg........
Now, check the battery fitted is the correct battery for 'Stop/Start' operation.

Just switch it off once you start the engine as the savings on fuel is minimal compared to a worn out starter motor, battery, flywheel etc.
