as the title says, im after a new battery and getting mixed responses from people. I have a 1275 metro engine, with inertia stater. i found that my current battery lasts about 3-4 days, then struggles to turn over the engine. i had a loko at the battery, and its a 038, which im guessing isnt strong enough to cope with the larger engine. lots of people have been recommending 063 pug 306 diesel batteries (http://www.monbatuk....celier-063.html) but i have slo been recommended a 075 battery as well (http://www.monbatuk....celier-075.html)

any help would be great!

075 approx double the capacity of the standard 038. Actually I thought the 075 was the Pug battery ??

ah yes your right, 075 is the pug, 063 is the rover metro battery. is the 075 good?

do you know the dimensions of the battery box?

Hanna and I both use the pug 306 diesel battery. Works a treat and is the perfect size

Not off hand but the 075 is a snug fit, can't really go much bigger.

Im running an 096. Tight, but definately fits.
