Just got my freelander back under warranty for the third time with the stop/start not working. Each time no fault found. The last time taken in stop start not working the report they gave me back: checked operation of stop start inoperative, Road tested stop start worked every time connected to test book no faults logged, Checked overnight road tested worked correctly no drains to sysyem found. I have taken battery volts before starting in the morning batt volts 12.25 engine cold outside temp recorded, batt volts engine running 14.45 there reply was batt amps down to 600 should be 800 you are not doing enough mileage to charge the battery. I told them I was not satisfied as it was still under warranty, I managed to talk to the mechanic he said there was a issue with the earlier models air con must be off.

Quote " batt amps down to 600 should be 800 (do more milage)" is exactly what I was told by the AA man. So I did and it went up to 12.6v and stop/start worked Ex 2010 Freelander2 GS-e Diesel manual Silver owner |

How many miles should you do?? I do 12 miles a day, 6 miles to work, 6 miles back. Is that too short?? If I am the one locking up at work then I drive about 30 meters to the gate and turn the car off. I get out to close the gate and as I work in a "dodgy" area I don't like the idea of leaving the engine running while losing two large gates incase some one takes my car. But is this going to flatten the battery to prevent the stop start from working?

had a look at batteries and the Varta F21 is the one closest to the LR one I think, to save you hunting around . Have to say I have not done a size check'

I was looking at getting a Varta F21, prices are around £130 on a few sites. Heres a link to one for an example, other sites might do a better deal.
