It might turn it over but would soon tire out, so I would stick em on ebay and use the money for the correct battery.  :smiley:

Look up what V/Amp are required to start a diesel and compare it to your battery  :smiley:

You thinking of relocating?

Ok thanks for the replies. Will see if I can find the boxes they came in and get some more info on them. They where near £200 each so if I can I'd like to put them to some use.

Yea relocating to behind the read door card if it'll do the job.
