Go to www.tvrbooks.co.uk and download the Chim bible sample chapter.... covers the battery in all its gory detail.

[M@H]

Halfwits will sell you one.. about £70. Any reasonable motor factors will do though.

Isn't it an 072? (just from memory......???)

[cmr2payne]

the model number on the top is 069, my local halfords and mcr dont stock that on the selves only the 072. What do you think try another motorist store or go for the 072.

Not sure what the differences are.

anyone ???

got the old battery on a optimate to see if that will get it backk to life in the mean time. you never know :-)

I don't know specifically the difference between the 069 and 072, but the location of the positive and negative posts relative to each other and the physical size of the battery come into play, as well as the battery's capacity.

I think the 072 suits all. A good motor factor should be able to supply for around £40.

I've just had a new one, it was a 063 I think.

The difference is 3.

I believe the 072 is just a bit better than the 069. Same package size and post design/position I think.
