Its just a post,some people ask about washers, others about roof racks,I about batterys that's the point of a forum,was hoping someone replied with a don't worry mate,ok

Yeah I agree Weaver, the comment was not necessary. I am not sure what battery I have in my diesel, but I suspect it is not the most powerful on the market. As soon as you press the starter button the d r l lights come on, andthe engine firing does not suggest there is too much power in reserve. Any way when it gives up the ghost it will not be a problem to get a heavy duty replacement.

I agree JOHNWALES,
We are not looking for opinions on the posts, just help with problems and if members don't want to help then don't join in the post and keep opinions to your self.

the point i was making that it is a waste of forum space to ask a question like "what battery is in your b-max?" when all you have to do is lift the hood and look!

Hi Gracow,I'm sure that we will not run out of space, and a forum is what it is, a place to ask questions on a specific subject or specific thing

F/A Weaver......
Had a look under the bonnet earlier, the battery has a Ford sticker on it, but no other brand name. It is a 60 a/h unit which to my knowledge does not pack all that much power. I also get the impression that it may be difficult to fit an alternative battery in the space provided.
