Hi I just wonder if anyone else has had this issue I have the 160se 4+4 I pulled up engine off left keys in got out of car and it restarted I do have stop start but this should only function when pressing the clutch only happened once so far in for check up wednesday

There was a recall for this on the Captiva, see http://www.dft.gov.uk/vosa/apps/reca...Text=Blank&tx=

Did you turn engine off .or did the stop start pick in .so when you open the door it starts up .
If so mine does that all ways had

mine does that but have been told that it is normal

From the OM:

Restart of the engine by the
stop-start system
If one of the following conditions
occurs during an Autostop, the
engine will be restarted automatically
by the stop-start system.
â–* The stop-start system is manually
deactivated
â–* the bonnet is opened
â–* the driver's seat belt is unfastened
and the driver's door is opened
â–* the engine temperature is too low
â–* the charging level of the battery is
below a defined level
â–* the brake vacuum is not sufficient
â–* the vehicle starts to move
â–* the defrosting function is activated
â–* the climate control system requests
an engine start
â–* the air conditioning is manually
switched on
If an electrical accessory, e.g. a
portable CD player, is connected to
the power outlet, a brief power drop
during restart might be noticeable.

If this is normal it could be quite dangerous what happens if it's in gear???

The engine won't stop until the gear lever is in Neutral and the clutch released. To put it back in gear you would have to press the clutch first and that would start the engine.

Mine does this, but its out of gear at the time. Start stop goes to stop. Then restarts after a bit even if Im still stood stable at traffic lights. I dont think Ive done anything while its off to encourage the start back up...

Weird.

As Dulac posted above, there's a number of reasons why it would restart but are you sitting with your foot on the brake? If so then the vacuum supply could be getting diminished and the engine will automatically restart. They used to build cars with vacuum reservoir tanks so you had a fair amount in reserve but as far as I can see on the Antara the pipe goes over from the vacuum pump to the servo and there's no signs of any reserve.

Nope, Im literally just sitting there doing nothing tbh but taking in the glorious views.

And it starts back up.
