Hi All

My 95 110 starts fine most of the time.......However, if I have left it for a few days and it is cold weather (like now!) then it turns over really slowly and struggles to fire.

As it has new heater plugs I am guessing the battery is either knackered or too weak and feeble to turn a big old tdi lump.

Can anyone recommend a good heavy duty to fit and where best (ie cheapest - I am tight Yorkshire man) to source one.

Cheers

Numax 1000cca marine leisure starting battery (google it), either that or a decent size normal battery, something like a 100 battery...

mines a huge normal battery, cost me just over £100.
Find a battery specialist, or a proper motor factors, twill be a darn site cheaper than halfauds etc.

Might also be worth checking the lift pump

Diaphram can weaken allowing fuel to drain back causing engine to take longer to fire

Thanks chaps. I'll start saving up for a big battery or hope that Father Christmas is generous.
