@Stan, @Gremlin, thank you both for the clarification Wasn't aware of having either the Aux or the Capacitor to execute this feauture.
Last year I tried to take off the negative terminal from the aux battery but after 50 km (just took off for a 2500km round trip) I got the "restricted performance" message. After I reconnected and restarted the message disappeard and never came back again (now 10 month, 10.000km). Never been absolutely sure it was the disconnection of the aux battery which triggered the fault message, but was very happy to continue the just strarted trip with the misses next to me. Now I'm confident enough to disconnect again  2013 L405 3.0 TdV6 Autobiography Barolo Black

How is the cover removed please? I need to disconnect the capacitor in my MY21 until I own a Gap tool that will do the CCF change.

pull from the top left and work your way along the top... ... - .- -.

Thanks Stan. I had started in that area but chickened-out. I'll have another attempt tomorrow.

My 2014 L405 SDV8 came from the factory with no stop start, (thankfully) not even the switch. I have a large auxiliary battery.

I would think it is turned off at the factory in the CCF somewhere... maybe someone with an earlier fatty should look further into the CCF, if anyone does and they want to know what my CCF looks like then just shout..  Pete

As Stan says, but you have to pull so hard that you think you will break it, I use the vent in the recessed bit as you can get your fingers thought the slots to get a good grip, then a sharp, violent yank straight out towards the other side of the boot.......  Pete

Thanks Pete, noted.

Mine probably doesn't have a capacitor as it has a 48V battery, but hopefully I'll find something to disconnect.

I disconnected the auxiliary battery and the heated steering wheel and seats stopped working  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

I've removed cargo area fuse 34 MHEV 5A. There's now a red triangle in the top right of the instrument display directly below when the stop/start icon shows but it seems that stop-start is disabled. If that's all the repercussions then it can stay that way until I decide to get a G4 IIDtool.

It was taking quite a while after engine start and seemed to require to not be in Park for the lower centre display to show the engine display then the on/off button. I'm not accustomed to taking so long to get moving so I'll be happier without that delay. I need to get happier with this car, after another stupidity this morning not being able to have a/c off without recirculation on with the temperatures set to Lo.
