Hi, only just picked up this topic. I read lots of topics during my research into replacing the battery that came with my GV. Where I live is a very well known battery supplier and everyone I consulted pointed me that way. Without hesitation he recommended a red top and in the time he has sold them he has not had any complaints. It has performed very well and my trips are usually local & sometimes days apart. I bought my battery back in early November so a few cold spells and my very old Exide battery tester shows all's well. I will let the forum know the minute there's any change. I think I bought my car around the same time as you, broke all the rules, but touch wood I seem to have done well. There are obviously common niggles but the forum sure helps. A couple of Austin Maxi's have come up lately but she who must be obeyed says " your too old to mess with cars" so "NO". Soooo easy to work on Issigonis the working mans designer. Love the Voyager though. All the best.
