Hi there
Just wondering what batteries you use in you're S1 v8s. Mine dosen't stay charged or have any handles so will need replacing.
What sort of make and watt do you recommend?

Thanks
James

You need an 075 battery. It's a fairly normal size so have a shop around.

The Club recommends this as the best budget buy for all V8 and Series 2 2000 boot battery trays:

That was handy. I just ordered one of those for Bruiser. Local factors are quoting £70-80 so a good saving. It puts the terminals on the other side of the battery (underbonnet) but the cables will reach no problem.

Good link.

Thanks again everyone.
charged the battery up again today and realised it had 072 written on it, so its obviously the wrong battery so looking forward to ordering the powerline on thursday.
