Deep Cycle battery on Vigo

Post by oxydog »

Can someone tell me if it's possible to fit a 105 Ah deep cycle battery under the bonnet of a 4.0 V6? I know the D4D's diesel pump is in the way, but is it maybe possible with the petrol?

No, it is possible with a 3.0 D4D I have one fitted in the Tuna.

You just have to move the computer box against the fire wall :thumbup:

Brilliant, so I should be good to go with the 4.0, provided they moved the box?

I am unable to confirm the set up of the 4.0 V6, but me thinks it can work, perhaps someone that has a 4.0 can comment?
