Dropping the wife off at A&E a short while ago and when I pulled up outside, the stop /Start decided to work and cut the engine ( this has been sporadic to say the least and i fully expect to have to change the battery at some stage) however, when I took my foot off the brake I had message come up to "Start car with key" which I duly did, but then I get the engine management light and glo plug light come on. Management light is solid, glo plug light is flashing. Drove home (only a short journey) and switched off the car and grabbed the trusty owners manual but nothing really mentioned except what the lights are if they come on? Started the engine again and just the management light came on.My question is, could it be an issue with bad or poor glo plugs which is actually the issue with the stop/start function or is it something else? Will pop it into my mate tomorrow to put his code reader on, but wondered if anyone may have had similar issues?

How old is your Car Battery ? you can get a myriad of strange faults appearing when the voltage gets too shaky on these modern Can Bus systems, that would be my first port of call.

Make sure you code the new battery into the car so it knows it has a New battery .

I have no idea how old the battery is, as I bought car 2nd hand from what has turned out to be a not particularly honest used car sales place . Having had vehicles with this before, I know the battery has to be tip top for it to operate and once I was confident nothing else was wrong or likely to go wrong,I was going to replace it. (See my other posts regarding issues and you'll see what I mean re expense)

I was just curious if it may be something else actually causing the issue, like the Glo plugs or if it is just simply the battery..

Ok, so fault code read and comes back with throttle body sensor so nothing to do with glo plugs whatsoever..... Been recalibrated and checked and all working within the parameters so will see if it comes back again. Now I`m wondering did this happen because I went to start the car in Drive rather than Park or could it be due to the water issues where the drivers footwell has had water coming in from time to time? Not exactly sure where the sensor is located but assuming somewhere in the vicinity of the throttle pedal?
