As for stop start on modern cars look on the bright side.If you keep the clutch disengaged when stopped you get the win win of both wrecking the thrust bearing for the next owner which is a bigger job than replacing a starter and battery and ■■■■■■■ off the eco fanatics at the same time.Might as well also leave your foot on the brake to blind the driver behind waiting at the lights because you can bet that the muppet would do the same to you. :smiling_imp: :laughing:
