To permanently disable the Intelligent stop start.
Simply remove the right rear interior trim panel in the luggage area, where the fuse panel is located. You just have to reach under and grab the handle and give it a good tug.
Inside you will see a small battery. Simply disconnect the negative lead off the battery. Once the lead is removed. tape it up with electrical tap so there is no chance of an electrical short and tie it so it won't move around. I just used zip ties.

replace the trim cover and enjoy .

No fault codes, no displayed error messages and most importantly NO MORE Intelligent Stop Start

I couldn't find anyone who had done this on a land rover, but it is a very common fix on the Jag's with the same system. I decided to try it and sure enough it works.

Hope this helps those of you were as displeased as me with the system.

I am new to the site and hope I am doing this correctly. I have been looking for a way to permanently disable the eco start stop mode in my 2016 LR4. I have read that you need to disconnect the ground wire on the auxiliary battery but I can't find the battery or any photographs showing it. Can anybody help?

More then likely it is in the same location as the photo in the post just above yours. Right side of the baggage compartment. Keep in mind if you do this, you will more than likely always have a light on the dash saying "battery not charging". So if you ever have any other electrical issues you will not know until it is too late.
