mine does WORK , (15 mile each way commute helps)
but when it kills the engine, only to start it again after 10 seconds idle..,:bang:
I'm just left thinking.. that's doing more harm than good
( wear + tear on starter, etc)
of course as others have said..it wouldn't be TAX free without it,
I think that's the way I've started to view S/S; it just helps to keep tax down. Which is a good thing of course!
I understand the science behind the various constraints when using S/S, but looking at it purely as a device, it really doesn't seem to offer much help in the grand scheme of things.
I suppose the good thing with S/S enabled cars is that they have the higher rated battery and starter motor, so you could just keep it disabled all the time and then start/stop the engine when you wanted...
