Deep Cycle battery on Vigo
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

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

Here is a pic of the 3.0 D4D
I did see a 2.7VVTI last week and it was also mounted in front :wink2:- Turbo
