I think I must have been drinking last night when I wrote down prices (I did sink a few stellas when I got in at 8:30 ish), as I'm talking rubbish.

3.0 v6 - 72Ah - £39 + vat
3.2 v6 - 85Ah - £45 + vat

Opps.

Will go for 3.0 v6 one...

The 2.6 and 3.2 are given a different designation to 2.5 and 3.0 as if there is a difference (even though 2.5 and 2.6 are both 66Ah).  Guess this means some difference, either in connections, or cranking performance?

I guess there could be a physical difference.

Can't believe there's a significant difference in demand between the two cars - unless the newer motronic system is less tolerant of low cranking voltages? - or they weren't lasting as well in the 3.0's so they got uprated. :-/

Anyway, seems clear which one to go for :y
