Hello,
Something I am not getting used to on my Discovery is the start&stop: it always stops the vehicle when I do not want it like when maneuvering or when stopping at a crossing. So, most of the time I disable it via the switch, but it is attention consuming and I do not always think about it. Plus I hate having the caution light always ON just in my sight of view. Therefore, I was wondering if anybody would know if I could disable it permanently and easily, like maybe by removing a plug or a fuse (I also want to get rid of the caution light).
Thanks for your help,
Christophe

i'd be interested in the same - I doubt that the stop/start saves much (if anything) in fuel in real world driving and it irritates me everytime I forget to turn it off....
I had heard somewhere that you can disconnect the stop/start battery to disable it but not sure if you get the warning light when you do that, Also Gone : MY14 D4 SDV6 HSE : Barolo Black + Almond

My wife had LR assist out during the winter when she got frozen out of her Evoque, I got talking to the technician and asked if there was any way the stop/start could be disabled, he told me there wasnt but if he had a pound for each time he was asked he'd be a rich man ! There are 10 types of people in this world ~ those that understand binary and those that don't.

has anyone already tried disconnect the "-ve" battery connection to the stop-start battery ?
- Did this work on a D4 ?
- Do you get the orange warning light when disabled this way ? Also Gone : MY14 D4 SDV6 HSE : Barolo Black + Almond

Give it a go Martin. You know it makes sense. Never take life too seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

I had my LR dealer disconnect the additional battery on my 2015 D4 to cansel the start/stop.
It appeared to work at first, of course the caution light was enoyingly always on.
But at the next service the dealer re-connected the battery because the car had stored several diagnostic codes. So now it is back on as it was, and I still get very annoyed by this function.

Turning it off is not an issue each time its that fooking bright light why because the Disco Snort FFRR V6 Epoke are all subtle oh no not the D4
I just use the FF more
