hi thanks so do you think this could be ok. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/152285454330?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT ?the advice is usually to get the most powerful in terms of cold cranking amps cca and amp hours ah. that you can afford and will fit dimensionally
some of the ones for defenders go up to 100 ah and should fit in the tray, I wouldn't get less than 70ah, had a 50ah in my s3 diesel it wasn't really up to the job on very cold winter days
At the moment I have this one in the landroverthe advice is usually to get the most powerful in terms of cold cranking amps cca and amp hours ah. that you can afford and will fit dimensionally

Ah so the one I put on that was from eBay is the one you have or the one in my s3 ? Sorry got confused .btw I have the type you put up in my s1 - type 069 - so I am sure it will be ok
no idea if the make is any good though
Competition between manufacturers to attract customers.im running a Exide endurance battery maintenance free 750cca 90ah. only cost me $140 aud. every few years when i need a new battery the cca rating seems to be higher and higher, i remember the same battery i had roughly 10 years was around 600 or so cca.

Not sure what the location of the battery is like for a series 3
so I think first I need to get this battery checked as no idea how old. I gave it a full charge and when I turned the engine over it did just about turn over once or twice but if I try turning it over too many times , that's when that horrible green/yellow gets so hot it starts to melt. ( the car did start ) but no more starting until I know the cables setup etc.Competition between manufacturers to attract customers.
Not sure what the location of the battery is like for a series 3. Bigger capacity batteries are generally physically bigger so OP just needs to make sure whatever he gets will fit in the available space. ( I think this was said earlier)
