Had to replace Neimas battery today... finally got round to it after using a spare I had til I could raise funds.

Bought a nice NEW Yuasa 030 battery.
12v 70AH 570 CCA

Should have cost £89-.. but after a bit of haggling got it for £69-.  Grin
3 year warranty and PROFESSIONAL too..lol

Yes... starts a lot easier.
Well will do in cold mornings once I change glow-plugs too  Tongue

But spins over nice and easily, a lot better than before.

Block of wood underneath to raise it up.
As long as it's secure it will pass.

thought as much theres a block of polystyrene there at the moment packing from the battery.
It fits the tray so well it doesn't move. got plenty of wood im sure ill find something that fits.

You'll be ok... but a pain that it now IS part of the MOT.. where as before it'd be an advisory. Undecided
