Hi peeps
I've got a V reg 190 crew cab tipper that i've been having a few problems with, just done the EGR valve mod & that has improved the throttle & seems to have stoped the black smoke, gona get the belt changed soon & see if that helps aswell.
My question is though, whats the best battery to fit now winter is here? Mine looks a little old, I havnt tested it but it does drag a little when starting so was wondering to get a new one or not.

Try changing your oil first 
Battery should be an 096 Ideally with a CCA of 650A or above

A new battery gives peace of mind, even if old one is still ok. You can always keep it on trickle and use for jump starter.
Where in country are you?
