Just a quick update - took it to a local LR indie who swapped out old s/s battery and put the replacement I supplied in. They weren't aware they even had this 'auxiliary/stop start' battery
The tool I was missing to do it myself was, of course, a magnetic socket thingy so the bracket 'bolt/screw/nut' didn't drop away when undone!
I asked them to check with his code reader if the new one needed the car to be told - it did "New Auxillary Battery Fitted' yes/no..... so all done..
ECO warning light went out straight away - still doesn't stop/star however. So £10 to install and £46 for battery.
Thx for your responses... 2016MY Discovery HSE - Black

If SS does not work and you have no warning light it is the main large battery under charged.
If the SS does not work and you have a warning light the small battery is under charged.
Voltage test with a multi-meter only shows volts, you need amps(power) for the SS to work, I find the SS is a very good indicator of the state of the battery. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

5 years old and only done 25k miles! You are not doing sufficient mileage to keep the battery fully charged, it just shows what a good charging system the D4 has for the battery to last this long without regular supplementing charging. Buy a smart charger and put it on charge overnight once a fortnight. I can guarantee you will be buying a new large battery before next winter is out, keep us posted It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
