Hi everyone.
Just after some info/advice.
A colleague is travelling to the UK and has agreed to pick up the above battery for me from Halfords. I realise this isn't the cheapest but a) he's doing me a favour so this is easiest to fit in with his plans and b) at £125 it's still £40-50 cheaper than Guernsey!
I just want some reassurance that it'll fit in a D3 and, if anyone has one, that it's an ok choice considering my limitations on purchasing.
I've had my current battery tested. It has a CCA of 800 but is only running at approx. 550. The alternator has been checked and seems fine. Recently I've been having the "special programs off" on startup which goes after 20 seconds and my headlamps have blown a few times in the last couple of weeks. Indicative of needing a new battery? Oh, I forgot to mention, being Guernsey most of my journeys are pretty short.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Yes fits I have been using one for three years without a hitch, they also do a Black one now with lifetime guarantee a bit dearer but worth a look, I have one on my commercial D3 but only since last Autumn so far perfectly good.
