Starter battery for 2.5 Turbo Diesel

[captainphiliptaffski]

Have had quite a few suggested replacement types of battery from internet suppliers, but all of them with the wrong layout.
can anyone help identify the correct one for a 1987 turbo diesel 2.5, the battery positive is on the far left hand side as you look into the engine bay, the battery has failed after standing for a week and has to be run daily to raise and keep a charge so some help would be really nice folks. cheers.

249 is the number to search for

Hi
If ordering the battery via the internet, make sure it's one with the positive terminal on the right, as per the battery in that link, as the battery is fitted round the other way in the Bongo
Cheers

This is my recommendation:Bosch S4 http://www.eurocarparts.com/search/444773357/p/home.

Using promo code SERVICE25 you'll get 25% off taking it down to under £75. As mentioned above, ensure you get the terminals the right way round. If you put your details into their website, it will bring up a battery which is the wrong way round.

1987 - Is it a Friendee, or have you got the year wrong

Spot on Teenmal. The info on the website is wrong as they indicate you need one with the terminals the other way round. I've fitted that Bosch battery in a 1998 diesel and 2002 V6 and the fit is perfect. Buy one now while you can get 25% deal as their New Year offer can't continue for much longer.

Euro Car Parts are currently doing 15% off batteries with promo code BATTERY15, so works out to be £84.61, which is near enough the same price if you can't get one from the other place.
