Just look through the manual Rob & I see no mention of Glass Mat
Only the typical BCI Index, CCA, & AmpHours.
H7, 730, 72.
OEM Part Number: 04608719AC
However the Export Battery looks suspiciously like

The Century Battery you linked to exceeds OEM recommendations

If like the WK the battery is under the seat then it will be an AGM otherwise you will gas yourself but if its under the bonnet then just a calcium battery will do the trick....

No it's not under the seat.

My BMW's battery is under the rear seat, but it has a vent tube running from it to the outside. Normal flooded battery too.

I just put one of these in mine yesterday. Century DIN85LH MF AGM

It's heavy but makes a big difference when starting.
