I wouldn't know if my stop/start works or not. Disabling it is part of my pre-takeoff routine.

It took me a while to realise it didn't work for that very same reason 

Some years back, MB gave me a courtesy car, needless to say a young woman followed me out to show me how to drive it  I only had 1 question .... wheres the stop/start button? 

Chap next door has just bought a '17 CLS350 and is having issues with Eco mode amongst other things. As the car fires up instantly, the consensus is that the aux battery is on its way out. Lent him one of my chargers to top it up to see if it's salvageable...

Unfortunately my Xentry only has prototype mode for the W212 and zero support for the 218. No codes apparent in the modules I can read.

I disconnected the two batteries on my car from each other a while ago .... pretty sure it was the aux battery on mine that was a little on the low side.

Apparently a couple of days on charge has rectified the issue. Time will tell if it's a long term fix or if it needs a new aux battery.

Picked up a brand new set of front discs, pads and wear sensors for the Cat for only £50 (new) from somebody who had his written off before they were fitted, pleased with that for the 380mm setup 

Coded it out on the 530D, stupid, stupid idea

Same here,  although I’m lucky with mine that when I went to code it out, I get three choices.

Default on, Default off and memory. Memory selects the last chosen setting on start up, so in my case I choose to deactivate it once and it will stay off forever until somebody presses it to change it, which won’t be me.    Why can’t they all be like this.

Very simple, Stop/start, as per the later speed limiter systems, is a legal requirement and has to default to on at every ignition cycle. 

Very good. There are some clever folk about.

It will be done on purpose by the posties to manipulate "break times" - and 3 of them all at the same time?

I think it can take several minutes. Bleed to death internally really.

Almost certainly. 

Brilliant!   

Surely, I mean surely, they charge them up overnight 

You're assuming that when Royal Mail's top brass decided to go electric and spent millions on a fleet of electric vans, they included charging facilities at the sorting depots in their plans?     

Yes got it . Just seen hi on the bbc news. WS  also on.plus AS and EM an KM from what is left of Conservatives.

LD and PDC on. Might have missed some.

Are any of them LBGTQ+?
