On later vehicles without the accumulator and extra gubbins, they've removed all that and just use the main battery (as in my case), which means of course it doesn't work 99% if you only do occasional miles / use. I had a battery replaced under warranty, but once it goes under 80%, Stope Start won't work.

I just don't bother with it, as the car can sit for 7 days without use. Even when the new battery was fitted by Citroen, it lasted all of about 2 weeks then stopped working again. Not exactly environmentally friendly if you have to keep charging the battery up from the mains every week just to get S&S to work! Besides, I'd rather save the extra wear on the reinforced starter to be honest.

Exactly my feelings aswell on it just be nice to get service light off and annoying beep and message every time you cycle the ignition hopefully have another play around with it at some point
