What's up with my stop-start feature?
Hi
Regarding the stop-start feature, I was told that I needed to recharge my battery by going on a 20-minute journey driving over 50mph. I have done two 125-mile journeys in the last month and it still is not working; this was done with no radio, heaters or devices charging. I was also told that engine will only stop start for so many times, and is there I a way of resetting this?

What's up with my Honda Civic's stop-start?
Hi, I recently got a new battery for my 141 D Honda Civic, but the auto stop function is not working correctly. I asked the installer and he said it is installed correctly and auto stop won't always work. Please clarify.
Kind regards, Kieran O'Brien.

Any issue with high-mileage Picanto?
Is there any cause for concern in any way in the short/long run, for example the size of the engine vs the amount of mileage accumulated in such a short space of time for a Kia Picanto, 1.0 Smart model (engine displacement: 998cc), registered in 2019?
The odometer stands at just under 20,000km (in less than five months). It is said to have been used as a test drive vehicle. (The attraction to this vehicle is that it is the top of its range model at a decent price compared to a brand new car.)
