Will the larger capacity battery fitted to the diesel models fit into the battery try on a 98 70R think I read somewhere on here that it did?
Here comes winter.

i put a peugeot boxer 2.8 turbo diesel batterie in my P1 v70.
had to move the air intake pipe 2cm but just fit in.
don't know the exact power but so far i remember its around the double of the standart batterie.
did the same on my 827 si rover, no problem in any temperature.
