If the battery isn't a "flat top" you may have trouble. I made up an 'l'-shaped connection to lift the fuse box gizmo up an inch - you can buy terminal clamps & other bits & bobs from Halfords. Smile

I bought a battery once for a Toyota car and it was called an" Exide Japanese" because it was some sort of peculiar size. Don't have the car now to check it but might be worth asking about??

My replacement battery was listed for a Mitsubishi...pajero or other 4wd I think.
The wires are at full stretch, but the amps are there.......
