Before you buy a battery, measure the size of the battery tray, there not standard and also the height that will fit under the bonnet, then choose the largest capacity in AmpHours that will fit the tray normally in the order of 90-120 AmpHours. Make sure that the terminal layout matches the cabling, normally but not always terminals to the rear with +ve on the left and -ve on the right.
