Rover 416 Auto HHR 1998

Post by The Origina lNom »

Can anyone tell me if an 049 size battery will fit the above car?
My old battery died tonight and I hitched home so cant check it and I need to buy a new one before returning to the car.
Thanks

According to this old online Lucas catalogue: https://www.tayna.co.uk/docs/catalogues ... alogue.pdf

You need an 057 (the 416 petrol automatic 1995> gets an individual listing among the other Rovers)

A quick comparison of 049 and 057 from an online search suggests that they have similar physical dimensions but the 057 has a higher AH and CCA rating.
