I have always loved Optima Yellow Tops. Bought one for my Oldsmobile Alero V6 in Canada 4 years ago, and it is now powering my Rover 417 (Isuzu 1.7 TD engine swap) with no worries or hiccups what so ever.

Just don't buy halfords ones... Over priced (even with a trade card) and no better than any cheap one, last one I had was garunteed for 3 years, at about 3 years and a month it died.

Got one from the motor factors down the road for about £25.00 although that was an 063. Good battery too yuasa iirc.

The amazon one is a bit feeble for a v6 at only 45 ah.
