Pity there is no room in the CRD engine bay for this.

Thanks these are just what i was looking for.
The RM2-05ft remco will save a lot of modifications at this stage.

true but i tried the Flat Remco and it does stick up a little proud of the Floor Well. you may have to bash the round corders of the well out to make it sit down lower so you can get the Lid on. (if you follow me?)

I went with 8 x 15 Ah batteries ( 4 under each front seat). That gave me 120 Ah. There's room for another two which I have downstairs, just need time to install to bring it up to 150 Ah.

Wasn't hard to do other than undoing the seat bolts, man they use some serious loctite on the seat bolts!

Thanks everyone for your help. I have decided to go for a 90 amp Calcuim battery under front passenger seat with a low volt cutout, voltmeter on dash, and cigarette socket in cargo bay. There is a hole under seat to run the cable so should be tidy. I'm getting ARB to do it as I'm flatout changing a lightbulb. No more ice! Cold beer well worth the cost cheers.
