daft question, but anybody know what battery I need for a mini clubman estate (1977, 1100, not that that will matter)

Nowhere round here has a decent catalogue and by the space where it goes I'm guessing its not the same as the saloon one!

Car's not got one so I have nowt to compare to!

Can you measure the well?

Might be able to find one suitable from the dimensions?

Should be an 077.

Here you go:

Pick the AH that you want 35 - 40 ish. Then then pick the right connection type (key at the bottom) and size once you have messured the gap and bob is your uncle and so on

077 is correct, it's the same battery used in the pickup, van and very early (1959-1960) positive earth saloons.

If you are playing with older minis the original workshop manual is online!

I used to fit a heavy duty battery to my Minis which was actually smaller than the standard one.
