FFS, it didn't want to start again today, took it to my local LR wizard, only to find it has a battery from a ford fiesta fitted ffs!

Needs a shit hot battery apparently, thought it looked a bit small.

Why do people insist on putting crappy batteries in their (often expensive) vehicles? In the past couple of years I've had to replace 4 for that exact reason. I could understand it in a £200 banger, but not in something fairly expensive - like your D2 for example Nige.

not the best route. avoiding the m6 and a50 might be a better plan.

£92 for a LR one ffs.

Well, the thick plottens...... the "proper" battery is a 640X, with the terminals in the middle. 644's will fit, but you can't get the carrier back on. The 086 is, it seems, for Defenders. Td5 Discovery's are causing headaches all round in the battery world it seems.

So, the proper one is £76.37 inc VAT, and will fit!

I had to get one from LR for £76 + VAT. At least it's got 3 year warranty & will fit. Thieving fuckpigs.

most batteries are pricey now. Halfrauds et al want an arm and a leg for 'em, too.
