C3 battery

Unread post by myglaren »

Anyone know the dimensions of a C3 battery please?

My daughter is in hospital, her car is in the car park. She has had starting problems that 'look like' a flat battery but we haven't managed to determine if the battery or the car is the problem. I suspect the car as it lights up like a christmas tree and issues loads of beeps and warnings, all spurious.
The exhaust fell to bits on her way to the hospital.

I have been trying to get it off her for over a year to take to the garage I use, now is the opportune time.
It is unlikely to start but I can borrow a battery from the garage to get it there, but don't know the size.

As it is so far away, I don't have the VIN or registration and she is no help.
I think it is a 1.1L petrol, probably a 2005 model.
Apologies for the lack of info.

The original will be a 012 but i normally fit a 063 in place as they are usually cheaper & more powerful. Remember though the diesel & sensodrive models take much bigger batteries & the battery tray is still the same, if it is just to get it to the garage i would say you could use any of the following 012, 063, 027 or 075.

Excellent. thanks. Yes, just to get it to the garage and they can check the battery and either replace it or find what is draining it - intermittently and generally in colder weather.
