I though the same about the eco stop start but it does work. I think on short journeys less so but when everthing is properly charged and running it stops all the time, especially if you aren't using air con etc. Makes you look like a prize chump at the lights because everybody thinks you've stalled. Also, first few times I instictively jammed my foot back on the clutch as I thought it was about to stall ! Fine when you get used to it.

1) Stop start is a sophisticated system that will only kick in if ECU allows it. Cold spells, recent short trips will all affect it. I disable everytime I start up. Stupid system.

Appreciate all the sound advice and will give it time before taking it down to the dealer if and when that becomes necessary. IMHO its a fantastic vehicle and FL2 appears to have benefitted ( in terms of technology) from higher spec/ pri ced models. I just hope this MY2013 proves as reliable as my 57GS that didnt have as much a a bulb go in 5.5 years! Freelander2 MY2013 manual GS Fuji white. Fog lights and power washers.

Very similar story here. Approx 1 month old and other than on the first day, when it happened twice, the eco stop hasn't come on at all. A bit of a gimmick maybe? On my previous model it didn't get used in over 2 years.

Boycey...Yes, I remember it working on the first day too now you mention it ( coming out of the show room around pride park), it has since stopped but I've been doing journeys circa 20 miles round trip so engine not really getting warm I'd think. Someone has alluded to it being a sophisticated system so it's not just reading ambient temperature , it must be taking other things into account.

Yesterday the stop start did indeed begin to function due to slightly longer run. It appears that temperature is not the only factor along with other electrical draining items that determines when it kicks in.

Re. Starting from cold, clutch in & press the start button once. The system will start the engine when it's good & ready, e.g., after warming glow plugs if necessary. 2020 Defender D200 110S Pangea Green

I know the minumum outside air temp should be 0 deg. C. But my engine doesn't stop / start unless the outside temp is over 4-5 deg C, and all the other conditions have been met. Which isn't a problem, as below 4-5 degs C, the climate control will be working hard anyway.... |

My Evoque has the same problem regarding the stop/start. Doesn't matter what the temperature it just pleases its self when it works, was hoping for better from the 13MY Fl2.
