Disco 4 Start / Stop mod?

Sup all,

Is there a way you can make the start / stop instant? I hate having to hold it in. In the BMW, it's just a nice little push and off it goes...

So to clarify, you get in your car, put your foot on the brake, stab your finer on the stop / start button and release immediately, and the car starts?

I have to hold mine in until I hear it starting. A simple push won't start the car.

My D4's the same as my 535d - push and hold for a split second and release and then the magic takes over and the car starts. Neither are instantaneous, but you certainly don't have to hold either until the engine is turning.

Looking at this thread it would appear the quick push works for some people and not others

Is there a slight delay if the temperature is low? I ask this because my last model (MY12) and current model both start(ed) instantly in summer but if there's been a frost, there's a slight delay of maybe one second.

Bill Wright Thumbs Up Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

In the cold weather the delay will be because the glow plugs have to heat up first Cheers Ian
