I seem to remember that it has been said on here that stop/start models already have a second earth lead. If so, you are unlikely to need a third.

Thought I would do this and fit the extra earth lead. However I'm a bit confused as when I removed my air filter box I was expecting to see a starter motor bolt to connect to as per the picture on page 5:

It was me being thick, I couldn't see the bolts at first and thought I was having to connect to the far side. Sorted it in the end.

I reckon it could be your battery, just changed mine on my 10plate TD4.e. I got the battery checked out at a battery place and it was only holding 60% of its charge. Put a new battery in last week and the stop start is working fine and the engine turns over quicker in the cold weather than the old battery did.

The origional in mine was a varta. I was recommended by the Indy I use to get a exide agm, EK800. My Indy quoted an arm and a leg so I looked online, the Varta was quite abit cheaper. The battery size from memory is 110.
