I almost always have my air con on at either 22 or 21 and the stop start always works. It doesn't work if the engine is cold or the dpf is doing it's thing.

Thanks for the help guys. In my case it was because i had my fans on max (no air con) and set to low.

Cooling just a few degrees below ambient is rarely a bother for the stop-start unless you have the fan speed blasting. With the temp a few degrees warmer than the next best (27C) today, 19C and 2 bars on the fans was stopping the stop-start from cutting in. Upping the climate temp to 19.5C at a set of lights whist stationary and the car cut out.
Whey ya bugger! It's finally arrived after an 8 month wait....

That's odd, I've had 50+ litre fills 4 times and never been anywhere near a zero prediction haha.
