Type 069 and 072 seem to come up on the searches. I've a 072 on mine. Liam (Toady1) recently replaced his with a halfrauds 4 year guarantee battery. Find out the specs of the one they are suggesting and then compare them to the above mentioned specs.

I had an 069 when I replaced it I think as I couldn't find an 072 at the time (maybe it was the other way round).
Got huge cranking amps and could go 6 or 7 weeks without using it and still be able to start. It was a Lucas (i think) from the Discount Motors place in Leeds. I'm sure all the other sizes were the wrong size or had the terminals the wrong way round.
