Hi guys, search function not working properly.

As title suggests - need a new battery. Does anyone know what the best brand and size of battery is best?

Cheers
Jamie

I've just fitted Bosch silver S5 007 To my T350 should be the same
The + is on opposite side which is better but my cables reached and I had to shave a little off the bottom lip of the battery to fit.
Check if your cables will reach first
Very good battery with good AH
£70 in Costco

Had to replace mine a month or two back. Here are the words of advice from Shep on my post at the time:

'069 round post with a decent CCA. Make sure you get a battery with the flanges on the sides so you can clamp it down (MOT failure for an un-secure battery). Don't leave your keys in the car as it will lock and roll the windows up when you re-connect the battery.

Make sure you insulate the +ve terminal properly as its by the chassis, I would check all the terminals too. Also whilst you are at it have a good look at the anderson connection for corrosion/fatigue as ts been the culprit of many a crispy TVR in the past.'

Unipart is the place to get a 069. I tried and failed to get one from another recommended motor factor. no messing about, straight swap.
