What battery for a 4.2?

[SmokinV8]

Been trying to use the search engine but its down or something. Gota flat battery again and am fed up buying cheap ones (yes I know I need an accumate)so I want to get an Optima red top but which one? Also using my halfrauds charger I have fried my wiper park sensor, where's the best place to source another?

2. If you mean the WIper Park switch, I have a brand new spare one, yours for whatever they cost.

3. I'm coming to Swindon tomorrow so I could deliver it for you.

Hi, Optima red and yellow tops are ths same size, the orange top is smaller!
You need a red for a Cerb but not sure if you have enough room and there may be a issue with the posts.

There may be an issue with the posts but going to attach accumate leads to them so not essential to access them in future.

I fitted an optima red top model 34, bloody brilliant!! Should have done it a long time ago.

Fits with a little room to spare in my 1998 4.5 cerbera, great cranking amps for really cold starts and turns the engine over faster than any other battery I've tried.

Get it from www.tayna.co.uk they are nice people, cost = £150

Can get red tops through a mate of mine @£110 Got one already on my v8 land rover hybrid and it copes well with winches etc.
