Not sure what the spec is for the 2 ltr petrol, but assuming the tray is the same I'd look to fit a 95ah one for a diesel.

That will give you plenty of oomph for not a lot more money.

Tayna have provided me with a few batteries, or there's often a discount code for Euro Car Parts, a Google search often finds one. :wink:

definitely won't do any damage by fitting a higher capacity battery, just gives you a bit more stored lectrickery for when needed. 8)

I always suggest this one Bosch S4 335 (the last 3 digits can vary there are several that fit) https://www.google.com/search?q=Bosch+S ... utf-8&aq=t
