batterys
you need an 096 type battery.idealey a good known brand with at least a 3 yr warrenty on it.you should be expecting to pay at least £70 for a good battery.
also make sure if you have navigation fitted to the car as standard it is shut down correctly as disconnecting the battery can knacker it up permanently. any questions pm me james |

Same battery is fitted across the 75/ZT range from 1.8 up to the V8. You need a type 096, but make sure it's not a tall one, as you won;t get the lid on the battery box.
the measurement is on here somewhere.

Mines a diesel and I have a bull on it... The local parts shop has a banner with it in their window so I presume its a good brand but not sure if its the right battery

Battery
Well the RAC bought the correct Bosch battery from Euro Car Parts, came BACK to my house and fitted it.... all for £68 (was the actual price of the battery)

Bosch S3008, S4008 and S5008 are all 096 batteries with 3, 4 and 5 year guarantees respectively. I always fit the 5008 or the equivalent Varta E44 as they have the highest capacity and CCA for an 096 as well as the longer warranty. |
