Iain, I like your spelling

i think chris means weird jap alarms

thats exactly what I mean. the dealer fitted ones are crimplocked into the car and over the space of 7-8 years they work loose causing what happened to the OP.

ok seems so it looks like it was actually my battery f*king out.. *almost* completely dead.. as i wrote earlier.. alarm was still active and had partial accessory lights.. really odd.. if it didnt have such odd symptoms i would have though it would have been battery from the start..

anyways so now looking for a new battery.. i see this similiar to the 3/4 size though it only has 1cm diameter terminals which is odd..

ive started looking into the latest AGM and maybe even lithium ion batteries though figured i may as well ask here to see what people recommend

any ideas on how much CCA i need? im thinking 400 for 5 seconds should do it..

thanks again for all the assistance.

I just cut off the terminals and fitted standard sized ones, then a cheap ford/holden battery fitted.

When I fitted the front facing plenum, I replaced the acid filled battery with two aircraft type gel batteries with the same CCA, 550. Works a treat.

our plenum faces the side. is that a problem?

gel cells FTW!
