[javars]

I have twin batteries, anyone know which models they are ?

Its getting a little sluggish on turnover, rear window etc. Its been in the UK for about 4 yrs now so they must be a little tired by now. Theyre not even the sealed type !

thay should have a CCA or A/H rating on them... replace tham both together if they're old though.

if you scroll down to the bottom of this page there are 4 or 5 threads about the batteries take a look thru them to see if the info you need is in any of them

Just get the largest capacity ones you can in that physical size. You'll
notice one hell of a difference when you change them, especially when
cranking her over.

I just paid £56 for 1 battery from my local car spares shop only to find that the second one also needed replacing. I was speaking to a freind of a freind about this and he was telling me that he modifies land rovers ( for the people who hav'nt seen the light yet !! ) and he uses tractor batteries that he gets for £20 from a farm machinery specialist. He got me one and it works lovely , slightly smaller in width but securing bar across top holds it firm.
