£761 + delivery was cheapest I could find it direct from Renault which was from France 860 euros.

 

what about a odyssey or a varley?

 

I got an Odyssey one (in the spare wheel well)

 

have you got a picture of how you wired it in the engine bay @ianplymouth

 

I am trying to get on my photbucket account to see if there are any pics on there, but wont open.

basically i cut off the battery fitting, cut a slot in the red plastic fuse holder and then bolted the battery lead to the main bus bar, on the negative side i just unbolted the wires and bolted them all together then just taped them all up, i hope i don't ever blow a fuse as they are under my charge cooler

 

this looks like the one i fitted

Yes it might do, but its in the back

I used to run a Varley Red Top 25 in my MINI, but it struggling to start after a week got tiring real quick (private parking basement, but no power outlet near the car).

 

what cable are you using @ianplymouth 170amp or more?

 

I used a tri rated cable by a company called Cobra, from memory i think it was 4swg, it's a bit pricey but is only about 8mm in diameter.
