Hi Everyone

I'd appreciate some advice please, I've just fitted a new battery to my FL2 2011, everything is fine except the Stop/Start has refused to work since. The battery was brand new and I made sure it was fully charged before I put it in, and the following day I did a 140 mile journey anyway.,,,no stop start.

Any ideas please, have I missed something obvious, do I need to reset something?

Many thanks.

.....can anyone with Hawkeye help please, I'm prepared to travel for you kind assistance.

No reprogramming needed on my 2011. As long as you fitted the same type of battery, which has to be an AGM one for start/stop, it should be fine. I understand a reprogramming is needed if you don't put the same battery type in. If your isn't an AGM, its the wrong battery.

I read on here though that it can take a couple of days to "learn" and so may not be activated until that time. Worked first time with my new battery though. Learned to drive in 2011.
Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

My stop/start is completely random. It doesn't observe any of the criteria needed to operate - ie outside temp, AC demand etc

Sometimes it works sometimes not. I always turn it off when I get in, just wished I could permanently disable - anyone?

My stop start operates extremely well, every time I come to a stop if I dont switch the system off, whatever the temperature and it seems whatever is switched on.
However I cant see it really does the starter a lot of good or the engine and turbo for that matter starting up which could be several hundred times a day which could amount to 70000 starts a year?

Stop/start can be permanently dissabled.

I guess you can't turn it off yourself very easily for legal reasons as it affects the vehicle emissions and corresponding road tax rates. Having said that, a LR Assist guy told me to just leave the air con on permanently and it should hardly ever operate. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto

Yep my idea is let it stay like that, who needs all that extra wear and tear. As for leaving the A/C on all the time it will still cut in and out as thats how I run my MY2013.

Most times I jump in my car once its started I turn the darn thing off, can't abide it. If it was a case of just removing a fuse it would be removed.
