This may seem obvious, but I'd get one the same as what's in it..

Obvious but possibly not correct, just want to check the right size and make. This one could have failed as its the wrong one

MGR spec the same battery for all models inc V8.

Mines got a bosch in currently, but I would buy a premium brand

there's a thread on 260's about this very subject with a few suggestions

There's a few recommendations on the 260s.

I use one slightly larger than standard

I went for the Bosch S5 Battery 100 (74Ah). Under £80 with a discount on Car parts for less (rather than the sister site Euro Car Parts, where its more like £120)
