It ought to take a 95AmpHr battery with no problem and I always like the reasssurance of a powerful battery for a big diesel, especially for those freezing/cold/damp mornings where everything might be underperforming a bit. To be safe, just check dimensions for your proposed 95AmpHr battery purchase (usually given on the sellers website - I had mine delivered at a good price from www.batmanuk.com ) against the size of available space in the battery compartment.

And get that rust cleaned up! [-X :lol: 8)

And welcome :D

Hi

These fit easily, work well as SB or LB and have a 5yr warranty.

Can be bought from various vendors and more than enough grunt to start a cold diesel on a frosty morning as I have discovered over the winter :D

As usual, you pay your money and take your choice...
