Strange request I know, but can anyone tell me the size of a battery for a 1.9 ?

Zed arrives tomorrow and need a new battery in it before it goes to the garage to be mot'd, can't find any info on T internet, wouldn't fancy my chances if the mot tester can't get it started lol

I don't know the size but get a Bosch, I had one in the car for six years, let it run flat on many occasions, just recharged it, no problem, never had to buy a new one. Worth every penny OMHO.

Forget to turn the lights when you got home from the pub?

Haha, no :bag:
Short drive from home to work and back in the winter months and being parked up all day and all night, they don't like that.

It was sods law @FRANKIE, I bought the car in December 2009 and we had a pile of snow that I have never seen over here before (live on the coast) so I left it in the showroom until the weather cleared.
When it did, picked the Z up and took it home.
Next day, another pile of snow so did not use the car for 3 or 4 weeks, same as you.
Had to take the battery out and back to the garage is I did not have a charger.

PS. Never had this problem with my Merc's.
