Just so people know that the bosch S4029 battery fits perfect in a 3rd gen surf.
Not cheap but with 830 CCA's & 95Ah im pleased with it.

If you fill in the battery finder bit on the left I think they do a twin pack Bosch.

Sorry Bob. Tried to cut and paste from a previous post, but did'nt work. See my seperate re-post. Not Bosch, but Varta. Still good quality....Cheers....Mick.

I was told a while ago that Varta make batteries for Bosch !

This is backed up by the fact that the Bosch S5 I bought for the Focus a few months ago came with a Varta information booklet attached to it ...

I know you're mainly luddites with the ancient old oil burner engine , but this battery WILL NOT fit the petrol 3rd gens. Terminals are the other way round.

Do you have to take the battery out to swap the headlamp bulbs like on the 2nd Gen?

Hi Andy. For terminals the other way round, try Varta ref- G7 (249) Hope this helps....Cheers....Mick.

Depends how small your hands are - I don't have a problem ...

Its easier than trying to struggle, unless you have smallish hands. But what constitutes large or small hands ?

I just loosen off the restraint bar and slide the battery out of the way.

How often do you lot change your headlight bulbs, I've not touched mine in 3 & a half years.

currently once a year last year one headlight lamp went, this year I fitted HID lamps. Hopefully i will not have to bugger about with them again.

I know it's an old thread but not changed a Headlamp bulb in 16+ yearsin any Surf I've owned until last week ... (only for brighter bulbs tho)
