wpoll will become famous soon enough
Finally replaced the ailing battery in my 3.0d. The old battery was an 8-year old DIN85ZLMF (85AH, 780CCA) and I've replaced it with a new DIN88ZLMF (100AH, 860CCA).



I was a bit worried that the extra height of the DIN88 would be an issue for the BST but it fits like a glove - there's even a small deviation in the spare tyre frame rolled edge to clear the BST terminal...



Boy, does the big diesel engine fire up easily now! And no more DCS warning lamp (4x4) during cranking (as short as that period now is!). These cars sure love a good dose of voltage - they just purr with plenty of electrical power on hand.
