Personally I would check why your engine isn't firing up with a standard battery as it should, and for a large Numax battery to start failing in four years suggests there is a problem.
Have you ever given the battery a periodical maintenance charge?

Just fitted a Varta E24 (630cca) and it's spot on starting my 300tdi auto.
Agreed
- and the first thing I suggest is.....Do this... with a proper charger ( I.E. not a cheapo halfrauds POS
), and if it doesn't revive it, take it back to where you bought it from+1 - used to use Fulmen when they were available, but now Varta seem about the best - just about everything here has a Varta on it... and they seem to tolerate the low winter temps up in the hills, so they must have some "goodness" inside
This is the other possibility - some electrical nonsence - possibly alternator going south (?), probably quite likely with a good battery, like a numax....

I bought a Tayna battery 2years ago ......... Tayna enduroline cxv-x 1000 amp
I have 2 newmax batterys on mine, both 86ah and 1000cca, only got them 6 months ago, not where I bought mine from but the same battery

this is what i done with mine, took the battery off, put it on trickle charge for two days , so i can then see how it performs in the winter months
don't like to put them on high rate of charge , to be honest i don't know how true it is , if it is indeed better to use a trickle charge instead of a quick charge rate

never heard of the numex to be honest , had a varta on the hippo and could easily leave the car standing for 2 x weeks and would start on the button
can't see any date on mine, it will just see how it shapes up with winter now here , but won't hesitate to put a varta on it
seen quite a few of the discos fit a split charge system , might do that at some stage , when i go camping etc
reminds me i must see what type of socket i've got as i think some of the trailer sockets u can get leads to run things off and charge via the socket
