Err................. one that is less than 31cm long and low enough to fit under the bonnet?
Seriously you will have to go somewhere that has some in stock and see which one fits.
If it is a "Willinton" tray that will be a 110amp Numax.

yep Wetline Brand...... Marine/Leisure 110Ah...... for me too....again a Willinton Tray....2nd season.....has 3 year g'tee so I expect to change after next season.......my Fridge has been running constant since January.....battery still fine using the Willinton daily and a quick Aldi Battery charger for monthly top ups
MMM did a recent test on Leisure batteries (they even cut them up) One so called Premium make with a long guarantee...... 100 Ah only battery was found to hold only 54 Ah...
The best brand they found was the Banner Energy Bull...... 110Ah put out 122Ah....

Some of the batteries had filler sections to fill out the cell chambers....
I guess some of the well known brands like Banner/Numax/Wetline etc are the best to go for

It suggests here
http://www.leisurebatteryshop.co.uk/Num ... -Batteries that Numax have replaced the 110AmpHr battery with a 95 AmpHr battery, and it doesn't appear on the Numax brochers at all

If the battery tray is metal then a 110 wont fit unless you alter the tray slightly,(i think you have to bend the lip of the tray flat)
If it looks like a plastic/fibreglass battery tray then the 110 will fit (but its a bit snug) mine is a 110 Bosch battery.
