diesel ones supply more power but i wouldnt say you need a diesel one, maybe just a bigger one

perhaps you need a new battery? maybe its just that your existing battery is old and fooked! mine was flat as anything yesterday,car had been sat for 3 weeks without turning her over,started first time altho a little sluggish! cleaned her out on the road and went to start her again and it was dead as fook!

lol im having same problems.... clean earths on body, chech all earths add a few more...

then carry out alternator checks,, if works get a multimeter to find out what component is drawing power when it shouldnt... a biggy is the bulb in your boot light... remove the ****er..lol

instead of the small 063 battery type thats usually fitted, get an 065 which is bigger and does fit fine on the tray

get the heavy duty 065 and you will be fine

Just thought i would let you all know that nowadays car battery's are generally sealed lead-acid ones and if they become fully discharged; they very rarely hold there charge again! :roll:
