Stop start engine wear

[JurassicF]

Mine also works in Dynamic mode, although it is also the first button I turn off.
There is an easy way to disconnect permanently which has been covered before on this forum.
One of my other cars actually shows the savings of the stop start.
I left it on for a month just out of interest, whilst I cannot remember the exact mileage saving it was about 3 or 4 miles in that period.
Never went on again.

Don't think I can directly post a video but here are a couple of grabs from it...

Early model F-Types = great nose fins - proper sound - easy off stop start - what's not to like?

I once did a 4 mile drive to where I used to work and left the stop/start switched on. The engine restarted itself over 40 times on that short run. Needless to say I switch it off immediately after starting the engine. I don't care what people say, 40 engine starts on a 4 mile drive cannot be good for the battery, starter or engine.

Just checked mine again today. Stop start definitely still works in Dynamic mode.

Mine too.

Doesn't work in Dynamic mode for me.. Is this a case of early cars it doesn't work in Dynamic, but later ones it does (i.e. panders to tightening emissions and testing rules)?

I rarely use stop start but I can confirm I just switched it on and whilst it was working I switched on dynamic and it cancelled stop start, even the light went off on the stop start switch so in my model dynamic definitely seems to cancel it.

Wasn’t going to go out this bank holiday but now the cat’s calling to me so we’re off for a drive...

Mine works in Dynamic, unless I have the aircon on.

I can't think why that would make a difference unless your battery is low on charge. Intriguing ...

Ah, having RTFMed, I see that stop/start is deactivated when the paddles are active, which probably goes hand-in-hand with switching to dymanic mode. Also if the aircon is hyper-active, e.g. defrosting. Much easier to turn it off - at least it's then 100% predictable!
