Hi guys can someone recommend a good battery+how do you change it without tripping alarm..
cheers john :y

Vx own are good, especially with trade card.

To disconnect without tripping the power sounder .. 

Loosen negative terminal but leave connected.
Switch ignition ON then OFF
Disconnect negative terminal within 15 seconds

Sounds hard but is not. Once the terminal is loose it takes very little to walk from the drivers door to the battery and lift the terminal off.

:)

thanks for that mate,what battery would you put in 3000 ltr mv6..
cheers john

As long as it is, at least the right ampage, and will physically fit and 12 volts then you can fit as big as you want.... :)

The rule is to try and match your battery to the output of your alternator ie 70 amp battery to a 70 amp output alternator ;)
