They should have a bit more capacity (juice) and should have a slightly higher CCA so will be slightly better at supplying lots of power more quickly

Go for a Vaux Diesel 65 or 70Ah battery

Pass then, its what it said in the parts book, it is a big fecker like, I've ordered a shorter one now though because it doesn't fit under the strut brace.
