The start button in my 2013 Land Rover Range Rover Vogue V8 diesel does not always start or stop engine. There’s also an occasional click from under the bonnet, but not always. Sometimes its starts totally normally, other times may take three presses of the button to actuate the starter. It otherwise runs 100 per cent.
If this was just a case of the engine not starting every now and then, I’d be inclined to look at the starter motor and, in particular, its solenoid. But since the starter-stop button also sometimes refuses to switch the engine off, it sounds very much like the button itself is faulty.
You can remove the button and clean the electrical contacts with a cleaning spray, or simply swap the switch for one you know works perfectly.
