Ok. Good news update.
I have a tomtom plugged into the cigarette lighter. I had it unplugged for a few days and lo and behold the stop start came back almost immediately. Works fine now everytime.
Seems it cant charge both the ecodrive and a satnav atbthe same time.

Doofer, I presume you're local to Fareham since you bought yours from Yeomans? Pop up to Bardens in segensworth. They sell nothing but batteries and related products, they can advise you the best route to go.

What does AGM mean?

A friend had exactly the same issue on his Nissan, battery failed after only a few months so the Eco Start didn't work any more until the battery was changed, although everything else was fine. I agree with Lighty about charging batteries before use. They are stored charged but will lose some charge over time, so it's best to put them on a charger before use if you can. I bought a Bosch battery a couple of years back and as I didn't need it straight away I decided to charge it, it took quite a while to get up to float charge level.
