Rover 75 CDTi - Which battery

Spôôk · 24th February 2009, 09:07

I need a new battery (went belly up this morning).

Does anyone have the specs for a new one?

And should I go for a larger one?

I bought one of these about 2 months ago:

Quite expensive but it seems like a decent, powerful battery that does the job nicely, comes with a 3 year warranty.. As I understand it, a 70Ah battery is the minimum required for the CDTi diesel enginer.

Try these chaps, (Martin or Richard) a little cheaper & they do mail order too.
I use them a lot & the quality is very good.
