    what battery?

    BT needs a new battery, i don't need one as big as the original factory one but i'm not splashing out for a full race one (plus i get a good discount from a local source). So as i know a few people work in the motor parts shops i thought they might have some knowledge of what cars use small batteries. Someone has suggest one for a Toyota, i notice the posts are the wrong way round but not really an issue

    many thanks

    Hi Buddy, 063 / 027 / 065/075

    063 Fiesta/ka/corsa / small
    027 Std Volvo 850 size medium
    075 Astra petrol/diesel medium
    096 French 2.2 HDI's focus's etc etc large
    017/019 Mercedes/Bmw etc very large

    You may get away with a 063, but tbh the 075 is probably the one to go for on a budget its very common and you should be able to get one at a decent price, i typically sell a Ac Delco (GM) 3 year 075 for around £40 plus vat. but don't courier batteries for obvious reasons. lol

    i get trade at Unipart so getting one cheap is no problem, i'm going to have to try the 063 tho as its only to power the starter motor (& gauges lol)
