Standard battery model for the 2.5 Di is an 096.

It should be rated somewhere in the region of 70Ah and 680A Cold Crank.


I can recommend the Bosch S3 or S4 batteries. The S3 is the cheaper one if you are on a budget and will set you back in the region of £70 from Euro Car Parts. The S4 is a bit more pricey at around £95.
