Any recommendations? Starting to get very unreliable on start up over the last two coldish weeks…

I really like the Optima Yellow Tops, but you need to make sure you get one that fits, and it may require relocation of the fuses on top of the battery box. Get in contact with FHRX Studios for advice...

I had one in my 205 GTi. Was great but was REALLY expensive.

Have a search through my R32 thread for the details on what and how much I paid for my replacement.
Cheers,

I have one from a VE commodore and eventho its a tiny bit bigger (i cant fit the plastic cover over it) it works great!

When the battery in my VR6 went I essentially bought the next size up on what was already overkill... seems I still have something draining power though, two weeks sitting = no cranking

On the upside, since it's in the garage it's easy enough to hook up the charger to top it up.
