As far as I’m aware it’s not possible to just switch the Stop/Start off as you say the RAC bloke did.

And if he had, I'm pretty sure he would have voided the warranty.

Jamie, before you purchase these AlloyGators please take a look in the "Search" facility by just entering "Alloygators" or "White Worm" for example as there is a lot of recent feedback on Alloy Wheel problems here - Dave ;)

It does just sound like it was the Stop/Start operating perfectly normal! It does sometimes take you by surprise when sitting at traffic lights and the engine restarts itself when the battery power is getting low and you get a twitch from the steering wheel as the power steering activates again.

There is a switch to the right of the steering wheel, Sop/Start off/on

That switch is only good for a journey; when you restart, Stop/Start automatically switches in.
