please anyone know correct battery type for t25 diesels,i do not have owners handbook

get the biggest one that fits your battery tray

Go for a battery with UK code number 100.

Can't diesels can take a bigger battery Martin, as they don't have a stupid box to put them in?

Code 100 are the biggest listed but there maybe a bit more space for something even bigger. You could take the van down to your local 'battery shop' and try a few options I suppose but they will undoutedly base their choices on the fitment listing books they have infront of them.
On the other hand Code 100 batteries do fit.

they do indeed

thanks for that,i assume the alternator just has to run on load longer to top up the battery,a bit more fuel for a lot more cranking amps seems a fair price to pay

Not really, you use the same .. and recharge the same..
bigger batteries have more lasting cranking power that's all.

eurocarparts sorted me out, type 100 on its way for less than 60 pounds delivered
