The battery I have in at the moment has a Cold Start of 265...... the 075 I saw has one of 610..... that should make a difference LOL

I just spoke to my local battery specialist shop and he said that the 075 would be round the wrong way for a classic mini?!?!! He recommended an 072 instead.

How have people got round this, have you extended the negative earth lead??

Cheers!

I'm guessing the terminals are in the position they are in for a reason.

I bought a bigger battery for my old FTO and the terminals were on the opposite side... they started to arc with the main engine block, so I had turn it back round and extend the cables.
