Well... it's only 2 days old! BUt the old battery woudl be unable to start him after a day (although it was on it's way out.). Even when just charged it didn't have much oomph ... the new one spins the starter quicker than it's ever spun and starts on first turn.
I wanted to fit the larger version but I've got LPG and the ECU lives at the edge of the battery compartment. I moved the brackets a bit to get this one in with a few cm to spare. Measure you maximum space and go for the largest you can get. The Yuasa's have a good rep and a 5 year guarantee to boot!

+1 Nowt wrong with your battery - it's your RF receiver.
Forget ebay - buy from a main stealer or Island4x4

Well I went to use him last night and..... drum roll.... first turn of the key he started AGAIN!
That's pretty much never happened in the 10 years I've had him (or the 5 years my Dad had him before that!).
Will check out that Rf Receiver work around page thanks!

I bought a new battery adam yesterday from halfords managed to fit a YUASA HSB019 battery and its turned over 1st time
. Though if the battery does drain Steve i will look inot the rf reciever mate.
I do have another issue ive just put a new matrix heater and replaced the o rings however when starting the engine i discovered that there a leak coming out of the orings and i believe it leaking from the top hose. the allen key bolt is full tight and i was wondering if i have done something wrong
:Cry:?? i need her back up and running for weekend.

Good news on the battery! That's the one I would have loved to fit!
On the o-rings.... the alloy of the pipes gets all pitted then doesn't seal well. When I did mine for the second time a few years ago I used some instant gasket (the non-setting type - was grey) on the pipe ends before i fitted the o-rings. Then did it up so the gasket stuff squished out a bit. No leaks since then!

You don't have to take the dash out again to do this, there's a couple of guides here:- https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u...8A Heater Matrix O-ring Replacement Guide.pdf
and here:-http://www.rangerovers.net/repairdetails/heateroring.html
that show a quick way, and I think you can also get at the screw with a very long driver if you just remove the radio, can't find that guide ATM.
Good luck.
