Thanks FW, I off to exchange my tomorrow, will quote the spec of yours as a minimum.
I haven't named and shamed the garage that sold me the incorrect battery, but may do depending on what happens tommorow.
Regards,
Wayne

Well, they changed it okay, had to do the swap myself though!Confident that I now have a fine cranked-up battery.
Bad news tho, it has not worked. I will try the earth straps next, maybe tomorrow weather permitting (no garage).
Also to to rewire the hazard lights, as they only come on with ignition. Is this a simple case of patching into a continuous live, such as the radio? Any advice or experience would be gratefully received.
