Snowing tonight, so obviously the car chooses today for the battery to give up the ghost. Not last week when it was clear and minus 2. No, tonight, when it was "warmer" and snowing....

anyway, to save me looking out in the freezing cold, does anyone know the battery type for the 8v jtd croma - number, size or however these things work. I got one from the local motor factor but their expert gave me one which is too small, so will need to take it back tomorrow. Hopefully the trusty Panda 4x4 will come into its own now!!!

Had the problem (with 1.9/16v 150HP) in July – search [Yuasa] within Croma section.

Replaced with a Yuasa 100 Pro 70Ah-650A - 278x175x175mm & fitted without any messing with packing-pieces. £75 inc. bringing it out to the car & fitting.

----------
55 Prestigio 1.9/16v 150HP

would that be a size 110 do you think?

If it's the same size as a 16v (probably) then here's your answer. Don't worry about the thread title, read on...
