Try Tayna. An 020 sized battery will slip in nicely. Helps if you workout a bit before handling though😉 Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

Taynas Enduroline battery gets a 5-year guarantee? â€œIf it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” -where’s the fun in that?

No need for an AGM as you haven't got stop/start on your vehicle. Previous cars:
S-Max 2007-2013 (only diesel I've had, good car but expensive when diesely bits go wrong, so what's the point?)
Galaxy 2001-2007
Mondeo Estate 1997-2001
Sierra Estate 1993-1997
Uno Turbo 1987 -1993
Fiesta 1984 - 1987
Fiat 127 1982 - 1984

AGM isn't for stop start.

AGM is less susceptible to current loss, a godsend on these cars.

On my 2006, a few things stayed on when I locked the car... an AGM battery solved this. Check the threads on this forum re the benefits of using an AGM. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

+1 for AGM, I've fitted a couple to "non AGM" RRs and found they've solved many of the electrical niggles that we sometimes get. They're not much dearer than the old type now.

Pays your money and takes your choice. I'm not getting into a debate but suffice to say that I've had "normal" batteries in mine with 7 years between changes. Previous cars:

Just fitted one of these today: https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/yuasa/ybx9019/

+1 for AGM, certainly for TDV8’s, as my normal battery would not run the timed climate control for more than about 3 mins. TDV8 4.4 2012

that's true , it doesn't NEED one but a lot of us on here have found that there are benefits to fitting one.
Nobody has ever been sat in their car that wont start and think "I wish I'd bought a lead acid battery"
