Technical which battery?

Contradicting info on various websites...
Eurocarparts are saying that an 027 battery is used in a JTD but the dimensions will not fit!
The battery in the car seems to be an 075 which is that of a petrol model and only 60ah.
The battery can only be 242mm max length..but the recommended ones are 270mm..

IIRC, the batteries in my two JTDs are 075s.

Why is this such a problem? If it doesn't fit, it doesn't fit! Fit one that fits!

That's fine...was just clearing things up..just means that anyone that buys a battery from Ecp will come unstuck!!
Plus I wanted to fit a battery with a higher capacity..but looks like its not possible..
075 it is...

Check Yuasa Spec guide - 027, 027T (& 075) ... all 243mm L?
