Hi Folkes not posted on here for a while, starter Battery has given up the ghost ( original Mazda )

Any advice on best value for money replacement?

Should have mentioned It's the diesel model, I have the willington kit and leisure battery, is 75AH sufficient or will I require 85AH +

I always go for bigger being better given (as i see it) the glowplugs will rely on a good glow to give crisp starting at the same time as you turn the key to crank the engine. I use (i think but would need to check) 95ah in mine.

Thanks Mike, I just wondered whether fitting a larger 85+ battery would put any additional strain on the alternator?
