Hi all, am looking for a second battery, but the tray has to fit in a specific place in the td5 engine bay, does anyone know of any other vehicles with a smallish batterytray that will fit right in? I am crap at fettling things and the "proper" ones cost a fortune.

Not in the second battery position, I'm talking about the spot thats just in front of the passenger (in the engine bay, i don't thinkthe wife would like one in the glovebox) was hoping someone would say something like "2003 ford fiesta battery tray fits perfectly"

This one doesnt seem a fortune and i'm sure it fits: https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.c...battery-bracket-land-rover-discovery-lr4.html .. the shipping from Germany can't be a killer

Well a normal tray from a breakers cost about a tenner, so now I'm looking to find out what cars take a bci 34 battery so I can look for the trays.

My understanding from your first post was that you want a battery tray which is not as expensive as ''proper'' ones hence my recommendation which is below half the price of a D2 one

Lol, not all breakers yard stuff is rusty, some of them are complete battery boxes which would help too. Going to the breakers with a tape measure tomorrow and see what I can find.
