Hello,
We have a 63 Plate QQ+2, but have been having trouble on cold mornings. The car reports a "Stop/Start System Fault" and puts the vehicle into Limp Home mode (capped at 2000RPM).

Turning off/on the Start/System has no effect. The problem occurs reliably when the outside temperature is 5oC or below and the car is started from cold. Normally, it can be cleared by warming the car up, turning off for 3-4 minutes and restarting.

It's been back to Nissan 3 times now, but each time they've been unable to replicate the fault and can find no error codes stored. Most frustratingly, I even drove it to the local dealer in Limp Home mode with the error showing, but they were unable to diagnose it there and then.

Wondered whether anyone else had had this problem and managed to get it rectified?
Cheers,
Mark
