Just bought a battery that was listed as a TVR rated one, the cranking rate is 570 but the bible says 630. Will it do the job or does it need to go back? Thanks

Most easily available replacements are a little lower... I've been using a Halfords own brand for a couple of years now with no problems at all; that's a 570

If it is an 072 it will be fine. I would not get too concerned about the numbers a lot of battery suppliers rate them in different ways.

An 072 battery is indeed 70aH so no problem.
