I need to buy a battery today. Our 7 year old one has finally given up.. Yes, 7 year old.
Is the bosch s5 silver 110ah still the recommended upgrade to go for?
I have read loads of threads about it and it will fit. But is it worth it?
Should I not just get the S3 017 normal size battery? Is the 020 worth the hassle?
I have found £110 delivered, can anyone suggest somewhere cheaper?
Cheers

ECP with one of the discount codes and thats delivered as well next day or pick up if you have a local branch
They do it for £114.83 with discount unless you can find a 30% discount code that would make it even cheaper but they are all off at the minute

It requires a little cutting but well worth it in the long run as even if a cell fails in a few years time there should be enough grunt to still get a car going easily enough  FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

the bosch/varta 020 is the best for the fullfat, a bit fiddly to fit but worth it especially with the 5 year warranty... ... - .- -.

I got mine to fit without any cutting. Obviously don't put it in the wrong way like I did. That gets very annoying. [img]http://www.fuelly.com/driver/rob2529/range-rover[img/]

If something can't be fixed with a hammer....... You have yourself an electrical fault!

fitting is only an issue if you have the incendiary charge on the positive terminal which hangs over the side of the battery - this causes the 'clearance issues' that some of us have faced. Not all the early TDV8's had them as far as I can tell, so your TD6 is probably OK

If your positive terminal looks like this

No problem getting an s5 110A in a td6.
Plenty of room and well worth it.

Thank you gentlemen.. S5 being ordered.
I always thought I had the explosive charge on mine, but obviously not, as it is nothing like Simons photo. My leads go over the top of the battery. Previously..

Just checking but is this battery ok for the 4.4v8 petrol as well? (Yes it's new battery time again) "On first name terms with my local Dealer......now."

Is this not the same battery? I thought Varta made the Bosch batteries, which means this a pretty good deal!
