Well that's cheered me up in this regard I always sat there thinking it wasn't achieving anything during engine cut off for less than 10 seconds. Even though the difference in fuel saving is probably minor. I understand LR fitted a heavy duty starter motor to cope. Is that right?

Yeah, heavy duty starter motor is fitted, lets hope it's more heavy duty than the clutch! |

Yes -They developed a new heavy duty starter motor and battery technology to cope with the heavier demands placed on then. |

On my previous FL the green gear change arrow went out when stop/start deactivated. FL12 the green arrow stays on very irratating |

Mine hasn't worked for a while then today it just stopped at a set of lights. Outside temp 4c. I noticed that if the blowers were set past the 3rd notch the engine would cut out then with-in seconds start back up again. If blowers were set low then then engine would stay off till I pressed the clutch. I like the car warm and the blowers on, this will be draining the battery so the Eco will not kick in.

It's a poor stop/start system that uses the old design starter motor.

Interesting to read that even when working as it should no noticeable difference in consumption comapred to when not working.

The conventional starter motor cannot turn the engine over to normal tickover rpm and therefore the EMS has to enrich the mixture to bring up the engine speed.

Did not Volkswagen Beetles have a dynomo and starter combined into a dynostart machine back in the 60s - It never really caught and was not taken up by any other manufacturer.

The use of the starternator hasn't really took off yet, most VM's have elected to stay with the conventional starter motor for the time being with improved pinion engagement.
