So I was on the red on fuel, came off the motorway onto an uphill exit slip road and stopped at the lights. Go to lift my foot off the clutch to move off and I don't move.
On come the hazards when I fiddle trying to work out what happened, then I notice it says 'Please start the engine manually!' on the screen on the dashboard. Turn it off and back on again and move off fine, and oops the lights just turned red again.
Now I believe to the person behind (who didn't actually move when I put my hazards on) may have thought I had stalled (mega loss of man points there).
I didn't think much of it and filled up with fuel.
Drove the same route yesterday and no problems (though not sure if I had to stop at the traffic lights).
Drove the same route today (it's the route to work, I am not a nutter) and got to the exact same sliproad and stopped at the lights and boom it's decided to have a sleep again. Exact same place. Protected my man points though as I was watching the screen and caught it telling me to restart whilst the lights were red, so a quick on and off and got going before the lights changed.
As I am coming up the exit slip, I'm braking. Coming to a stop, foot down on clutch and out of 6th, into 1st (clutch stays down till I stop or have to move again). As foot goes down it turns off (still moving slowly) and steering locks up. I do not release the clutch in neutral at any point (activates S/S).
Now I am a little concerned here. If I'm driving along and put the clutch down to change gear I would prefer it not to turn off as the steering would become heavy/ lock up. It's only done it twice at < 10mph on the same bit of road, but I'm not too happy with it.
Anyone know what's causing this? Getting a bit fed up with Seat- brand new car and it has more quirks that my old 14 year old car!
