Is the battery under the rear parcel shelf and behind the driver?
It would depend on the size of your battery tray and clamp, I was not impressed with my rusting clamp and have upgraded it.

On my 97 +4 it was behind the seat. I bought one from Halfords, 8 years later when I sold the car it was still going strong. As Rob says I would clean up the battery holder. Modern batteries of the same power can have a smaller foot print and it is possible to cut some marine ply to make a floor for smaller battery. The alternative is to measure the footprint carefully so it fits.

Hi Alistair,
Contact Keith at Brands Hatch Morgans (01732 882017) he has them in stock at a very reasonable price and he is a mind of information.
Hope this helps
