Good Morning clever Land Rover people.
Winter is coming and my battery is getting weaker...So which battery and which battery supplier would you recommend for my very useful 200tdi Disco? There is nothing trixie about my car, one battery only, no winches, no spot lights. Its just a standard family, works van, canoe carrying, daily driver.
Much thanks for any reply.
Andy

After suffering from cheapo batteries not having enough grunt on a winter's morning I fitted Optima Red Top AGM battery, because it had the most CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) 815 compared to 540 CCA for a cheap one.

The problem on a Disco is there isn't much room for a decent sized battery, my old Defender had a battery like a suitcase.

And check your alternator. And clean all your earth straps.
