ok so my battery fails to start on a regular occasion even tho i have only had it around 7 months. i friend of mine told me it was wrong type i have 70ah and it should be 110ah is this correct. also what cca should i be looking for
I bough a new battery for my td5 last week after the original battery died got a 110amp 850 cold crank £90 inc vat
Interesting, my TD5 is fitted with an HB072 which is 510 CA and only 68AH, not had a problem with starting although I appreciate a bigger battery would be better. (previous owner put this in and it's still fine, so I'll change it if it fails)
Before you get another battery I would check all the terminals and earthing points, if it works ok on mine it should on yours too!
I have fitted a flying lead to the battery with my own small connector that comes through the grill and sits behind the front A bar. As we dont use the Landy much its dead easy to stick it on charge (or in my case on a proper battery maintainer) to keep the battery for the inevitable cold day when it is needed.
That's why that battery still works, it's way too weak for a Td5 ... use the car often with the hard consumers on(heated screens, heated seats, main beam, etc) and it will die in no time
