Thanks for the replies guys - the dealer I'm getting it off is a mate so I think i go with the 'try before you buy' idea, just to make sure it fits first.

I found removing the Air intake gave me a little extra room for the "swing" in..... it's the hold the battery up at the inside end while you slide under the wing technique...... :lol:

Sounds like a Marine battery, actually "hybrid" Kirsty.
Best advice, again, is at the '12v side of life'. http://www.ccis.com/home/mnemeth/12volt/12volt.htm
See ,What's a battery?, but 'Selecting batteries, in particular.

A bit late again, I'm afraid ....... :oops:

Some info here http://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum/ ... 06&start=0 might be helpful. My Elecsol 100A fits in very easily (much more so than the Halfords 110A which I took out)
